Mocking is one of those things that started out as a simple idea, and has evolved to support an incredible amount of developer use cases over the years. In this episode of the Podcast, Tom from Wiremock chats with Phil about what mocking is, strategies for not littering OpenAPI doc with mocking details, and ways to keep api dev teams empowered by mocking, instead of hampered by it.

In this episode of 'APIs You Won't Hate', the Phil discusses API development with Joel Clermont, a prominent member of the Laravel PHP community.

They explore different approaches to building APIs, focusing particularly on the debate between code-first and design-first methodologies. Joel shares his experiences and challenges with generating API specifications and expresses his preference for manually writing specs. They also touch on challenges related to auto-generated specs, including the risk of drift between code and documentation. Various tools and strategies for improving API spec accuracy and integration are discussed, highlighting the importance of planning and thorough documentation in API development.

Though we've been working together for a long while, it turns out that Alexander, Phil, and Mike had never all recorded a podcast together before. We caught up to catch up on what everyone's been up to these past few months, to talk APIs, and to gab about the future of this very community.
