Thanks! It's a great point to make. Early on I worked on a "migration" ability for the resources, so that every change you make automatically updates the underlying database. But the longer I worked on that, the more I realized I could create/delete as many APIs as I wanted working out what's necessary. Then scale it up for longevity. And the time it took to create/delete APIs was nearly as fast as some of the build times I've experienced for front-end applications.

That's ultimately what I think the value is: API development as hyper-iterative as front-end apps.

I'm still clearly working out how to describe this value. I'm developing more examples to help define what I think the best use-cases are.
