I'm lucky to work with the best backend developers (from Evil Martians, of course), so this problem is mostly irrelevant for me. But deep in my memory, I remember the pain described in my colleague @yurimikhin's article—and API contracts look like a good option to solve it!
Frontend engineers, if you’ve ever felt the burn of mismatched expectations between your team and the backend team, this post is for you. We explain how API Contracts can align teams, reduce bugs, and up delivery speed. evilmartians.com/chronicles/api…
