There are great expectations coming with projects with the REST API. But there are great expectations coming with projects built with WordPress as well. Make sure your clients and project managers realise that those expectations might clash. This talk goes through some of the changes the REST API brings to WordPress and reminds you to have empathy towards the people you work with.
This is a short talk presetned at A Day of REST Boston 2017
