If you're doing a developer heavy app that requires an API, the API documentation is insanely critical. I don't think I emphasized this enough. I've been a complete lunatic (in a good way) about the API docs, response calls, etc. You can have things ghetto at first I guess, but having detailed responses is very important.

Yes, being pedantic about responses and stuff that's flying around is vital. We can agree on that.

But keeping an insanely good db documentation and a bunch of other stuff feels like overkill.

Isn't it what SOAP + WSDL were supposed to solve?
