So I have been using REST APIs since last 4 years and used this term in lot of technical discussions with backend teams.
Learnt that it's full form is 'REpresentational State Transfer' just a few minutes ago 🙈

Were you thinking those APIs took rest?

And that is the REST of the story...

Now that's going to keep you RESTless

Now go read about the origin of "URL".

@monkeyboy Surely I will 😂

Every time someone asks me about authentification design patterns, I have to give the full lecture about how the HTTP protocol is stateless. Most people don't care to dive into technical books. (I'm an Electronics Engineer, which means I'm full packed of those stuffs)
