As programmers and global travelers, we understand the importance of being well-versed in multiple languages. However, there's one language that holds a special place in our hearts: the language of API Design. 

It's a skill that requires a delicate balance of consistency, developer experience, and stakeholder involvement. In our quest for knowledge, we came across the enlightening API Design Matters Substack by David Biesack, a renowned expert in the field. We couldn't resist inviting him to our API Intersection podcast to share his invaluable insights on all things design-related.

As the Chief API Officer at Apiture, David focuses on API design and utilizes OpenAPI. Let's look at some of the benefits of OpenAPI for documenting and designing APIs and the importance of consistency in API design.
