That's always the excuse for piss-poor post titles.

Thanks for the reply, but I've read HN almost daily for years and have been a professional developer for way longer than that. I also just finished an API-definition project that involved a ton of research on API design and code-generation tooling (with OpenAPI in particular).

I have never heard of "caniuse." Swagger? Postman? Mocking tools and services? Lots of their ilk? Sure. In fact just recently I saw this API article posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40161794

That should be up to the recipient. Every other vendor provides this essential information in order confirmations.

Amazon's refusal to do so means you can't search your E-mail history for purchases (at tax time, for example). Or for warranty info or service. You may not know where you bought a particular item. Or which Amazon account you might have used.

If everyone followed Amazon's anti-customer example, you'd have to log into every E-commerce site you ever bought something from and search your order history... year by year... to find something. Unacceptable BS.

RTF was invented in 1987.

It doesn't say that. It merely says this thing is like another undescribed thing.

At first I thought it was some kind of service for dog owners, until I noticed the missing N. So... that left no explanation.

Amazon deserves zero credit for anything regarding E-mail, because their "order confirmations" don't say WHAT YOU ORDERED.

Mind-bogglingly stupid and annoying.

RTF would be fine, then.

"like caniuse"

Is that supposed to tell us something?
