Here for the puns - good course (personally took -a lot- longer than the c. 2.5hrs of the vid excluding breaks).
Struggled initially with getting a terminal - found that I needed Git Bash (might be useful to someone new to coding).
Re Python, struggled to get it to acknowledge that I had a version so I repaired my install but was unable to activate a venv (virtual environment), this wasn't too much of an issue as I was still able to follow along with everything else.
Good overview of APIs, great range of resources to demonstrate its use.
Gonna take a rest now...

Here I am, employed as a developer, watching a video that purports to be for beginners, and it's a great video so far. One of the things I love about approaches like this is that, especially for developers like me who just picked up some crap over time and am doing stuff with it, there are lots of fundamentals that slip through those autodidactic cracks. For instance, I _know_ what -statelessness- means generally, but then at around 23:30 Craig explains not only clearly but completely enough for the context--with no extraneous details.
Nice work.

This video surfaced in my google search results at least 100 times. I regrettably avoided it. Instead, I attempted to build and secure a network of API's with authentication layers. I basically spent a week doing nothing. Ten minutes in and for the first time in a week, my heart rate is normal I am not actively contemplating the benefits of destroying my computer. Thank you sir.

Why am I getting the error -Unexpected token 'data-urlencode' in expression or statement.- whenever I use curl in powershell? I might not be properly installing or using curl, but this is usually the first real error. (After a missing expression after unitary operator since it isn't recognizing the operator)

Just install Python. Suuure. But Python2 is default on my system since it comes with Macs, so even though I installed Python3 it uses python2 as default? And now I'm thoroughly confused after using dr google to try and figure -what to do- vs -what NOT to do- during a python install.

Enjoying the course! It looks like Spotify-s web console isn-t a thing anymore. I just get a page that says -Console- with no place to input anything and no curl code window. Anyone know of a workaround or how to get at the console?

57:45 Feb 3, 2022. No twisty on the -message log-, so it doesn't show the description like it did back then. Have to hit the Documentation sidebar on the right, and it doesn't make a hypertext link like it did in the video.

Got hung up with NPM. Terminal won't let me update my own laptop to the newest version of npm. This is not the first time it's happened. Npm is currently installed on usr/local/lib. How to get it installed on .npm-packages?

I'm testing Twilio with a UK number but it kept showing me error 'A 'To' phone number is required.', is it because the trial account doesn't support UK number? In the settings I only have US and Ireland two regions available :(

Why won't my Mac terminal allow me to go back to the previous line to change 'Body=Ahoy'?? It stops at -u. So frustrating that something so seemingly simple doesn't work like it feels like it should.
