Disclaimer: First and foremost, I apologize if HackerNews is against this kind of posts. However, this is the perfect forum to bring my question to so I decided to try my luck anyway. If there is a policy against my post, please feel free to delete it.<p>I'm a Ph.D student at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands and recently we performed an academic study regarding the pains web API client developers face while integrating and maintaining this integration with web APIs.<p>In this study, of which a technical report is available online (here:http://swerl.tudelft.nl/twiki/pub/Main/TechnicalReports/TUD-SERG-2013-012.pdf), we used software metrics to try to quantify how these forced evolution steps taken by API providers affect the client developers.<p>What we would like to ask you, as a client developer for such web APIs, is whether you would be available for a Skype interview on your experience in dealing with these software evolution tasks. This would take at most one hour and it would add invaluable insight to our research.<p>To show our appreciation for your time and effort, we are raffling away one Amazon voucher in the value of $50.
