2/ APIs are everywhere, every SaaS company must turn into an API-first company to survive. For the last 6 weeks we’ve laid out a guide for the next generation of SaaS built on the foundations of API-first development.

Wow--SCOTUS doesn't just rule in favor of Google in @googlevoracle, but says that API reimplementation is fair use *as a matter of law*, meaning that the decision applies to all APIs 
(Wow I've forgotten how to use twitter, #googlevoracle is not a username)
Anyway, this is great news for software folks. The concern was that SCOTUS could just let the jury decision stand, solving Google's case but leaving an open question for all future software developers. Deciding as a matter of law allays that fear
I listened in on the #googacle #oraclevgoogle #googlevoracle argument this morning but didn't live-tweet since there were excellent threads by @sarahjeong @M_F_Rose @design_law and others. Go read those, and then here are a few more thoughts…
@sarahjeong @M_F_Rose @design_law The argument started confused but seemed to converge later. Optimistic read: Oracle's arguments were so confusing, the justices couldn't ask good questions. More likely: everyone was at sea and just waiting for one good analogy to latch onto, which apparently was QWERTY
@sarahjeong @M_F_Rose @design_law The analogy latching-on effect is one I've seen before in patent SCOTUS arguments, but often it leads to stray irrelevant lines of thought. Interesting that the QWERTY analogy questions did manage to stay largely on point (as much as anything was on point in this argument)
