I just published a written distillation of my talk at PhillyETE 2013, Distributed Systems and the End of the API, over at the “writings” blog for the Quilt Project.

Take a look, especially if you are interested in distributed systems, CRDTs, the general suckage of how APIs work, or if you’re curious about what this Quilt thing is all about. (Spoiler / hint: the talk+post isn’t strictly about Quilt, but is very strongly related.) My inspiration for writing up the content of the talk comes large...
