🚀 API Design Best Practices for Developers 🚀

Building a great API isn’t just about making it work  it’s about making it easy to use, scalable, and secure. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:

-  Use RESTful principles or GraphQL depending on your needs  keep it intuitive and consistent.

-  Version your API from day one to avoid breaking changes for users.

-  Secure your endpoints with authentication (OAuth, JWT) and implement rate limiting to protect from abuse.

-  Keep your API documentation clear and up-to-date a well-documented API is a happy API user.

-  Use meaningful HTTP status codes to clearly indicate success, errors, and issues.

-  Design endpoints that are resource-oriented and avoid unnecessary complexity.

✨ Remember: A well-designed API accelerates development, enhances integration, and boosts user satisfaction!

💡 Should You Still Learn Java in 2025?

✅ Short answer: Yes  if you're smart about how you use it.
      Here’s why Java still matters in 2025:

1. Enterprise Still Loves Java

Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use Java. It's the backbone of massive systems in banking, insurance, telecom, and government. If you want a stable job with big companies  Java is still king.

2. Android Development Is Not Dead

While Kotlin is now the preferred Android language, Java is still fully supported  and tons of legacy Android apps are written in it. Knowing Java gives you an edge in mobile dev + understanding Kotlin becomes easier.

3. Spring Boot is Still Booming

Spring Boot remains one of the most popular backend frameworks for building microservices and scalable APIs. If you're into backend dev or DevOps, Java is still highly relevant.

4. Modern Java is Not Old Java

Java has evolved massively. Java 21+ has added:
-  Pattern matching
-  Records
-  Virtual threads (Project Loom)
-  Better performance & cleaner syntax

If you only know Java from school, give modern Java a second look.

5. Global Demand Still Exists

Despite the rise of Python, Go, and Rust  Java still ranks in top 5 most-used languages on almost every tech index (TIOBE, Stack Overflow, GitHub).

The Truth Behind “AI Will Replace Developers"

You’ve probably heard it before:
“AI is coming for your job.”
Especially if you’re a developer, this might sound like a warning bell. But here’s the truth:

🔥 AI is a tool, not a replacement.
AI like ChatGPT can write code, debug, and even suggest architectures  but it lacks human judgment, creativity, and deep contextual understanding.

Here’s what AI can do:

- Automate repetitive coding tasks
-  Suggest solutions faster
-  Help you learn and debug quicker
(yes, even while following @codebiruh 😎)

Here’s what AI can’t do (yet):

-  Understand business context deeply
-  Build user-centric experiences
-  Make architectural trade-offs
-  Collaborate like a real dev team member

👨‍💻 Developers who adapt will THRIVE.
Think of AI as your coding co-pilot. Those who learn to use it will outperform those who ignore it.

💡 The real question isn’t “Will AI replace developers?”
It’s: “Will developers who use AI replace those who don’t?”

Stay smart. Stay updated.
Keep building. 💻⚡️

Interviewer

Hey Bini, welcome to the Code Biruh Podcast! To kick things off, could you tell our listeners a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on? I saw on your Upwork profile that you’re described as an 'Expert Backend & Mobile Developer' can you walk us through your journey to reaching that level of expertise?

Interviewer

You studied Software Engineering for five years at Addis Ababa University (AAU). What were the most important lessons you learned there, both technically and socially?

Interviewer

For freshman university students, what criteria should they consider when choosing a department like Software Engineering?

Interviewer

For those who want to learn software engineering but don't join a university, what's the best path to learn in Ethiopia? Is a place like AAU still the top choice in your opinion?

Interviewer

Many aspiring software engineers are studying in regional universities outside of Addis , where they might not have the same opportunities. What is your advice for them to succeed and bridge that gap?

Interviewer

You once mentioned that at first, you didn’t believe software projects could bring wealth, until you got your first big project offer. How did that experience change your mindset about the value of software engineering?

Interviewer

When you later saw investors showing interest and projects generating millions, what key lessons did you learn about turning problem-solving ideas into scalable businesses?
