    REST and the future of APIs

    REST is still solid, no matter what anyone says, but it is definitely geared toward browser-based clients. If you use pretty much any non-REST solution you will either lose some valuable functionality that comes built-in to web browsers or will need to write a ton of JavaScript code. GraphQL is definitely a generally popular choice and makes a lot of sense if you’re primarily dealing with the rendering of data relations.

    My $646 mistake with PHP

    I pinged the Places API 17,000 times in one hour. A while loop in PHP will run until it gets a false back. I was using the $response['next_page_token'] from the initial request which will always return true. The value that I put in the while loop always returns true and therefore sends the whileloop into an infinite loop.
