Back to school 🏫! Are you teaching Twitter APIs in your classroom?
We just published a Twitter for Educators playbook 📘 with tips and FAQs to help get your students set up with developer account access. Take a look 👀! developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics…

First lesson: api access can be shutoff at anytime, don’t build a product for someone else’s platform.

Why would anyone build anything for Twitter when you guys consistently say FUCK YOU to devs? Might as well have Steve Ballmer as your CEO at this point.

Imagine being a college and teaching how to interact with the twitter API.
“Here’s a skill that will be valid for 9-16 months. Pay us thousands to learn it!”

You keep making the API less powerful for third-party devs, so: why should we care about this?

Why in the world would you promote this, bof all years? This company literally just decimated every bit of the skill set twitter devs made a livelihood off of.
Teaching students how to interact with first-party twitter data is a waste of students money and teacher’s time

Not really. There’s quite literally an infinite number of things you can do with the data provided by an API

Interacting with an API to determine a closure state versus sentiment analysis of raw data have nothing to do with each other.

If I was going to be taught the Twitter API in a class, I would drop that class and ask for my money back.

first lesson to teach about the Twitter API is that #Twitter cannot be trusted to safeguard the #API. It is an important lesson for #developers to learn distrust of platform owners with motives that do not align with the platform's API. Twitter is a use case in mismanagement

Step two: prep for it to be useless because it'll be deprecated before you do anything worth shipping

Are you kidding? Maybe let third party apps have the feature they had a month ago if you even care about an api.

Can one student edit the code of another student's app or delete another students app?

Do you have APIs to ads new students to the team rather then we doing it manually? We could ask their Twitter handle when they register for the class and they could be added to the team automatically. (Yes. I get the API loop in my question)

Wow, really? When I mentor I use twitter as an example of how not to treat users of your API.

Don’t you think this is a bit too late. After all you’ve done to 3rd party API changes.
