I hate performing, but I don't know if there is a framework for me or for managers to identify and track such things. The irony is that these things would be visible only when they bite us and when the work is done in such situation the reward is high, I strongly believe it should be other way around because preventing something is far greater than fixing something after it goes wrong, the sad fact is that it is hard to realize the impact of the failure unless it happens and even if highlighted in reviews it is overlooked often.

I remember a Doctor Who episode where he said, paraphrasing, "You never get credit for the crisis you prevented before it happened".

I've seen the duality helping in some cases and being a problem. IMO, the problem part essentially arises when your trait overruns the goals / priorities of the business or your manager is ineffective in communicating the right thing to you. Business usually looks for realized impact as a metric

Apples kinda tending towards status game, it can be called as leveraging the ecosystem from their pov. But the impact it has on younger generation is more of a status symbol / peer pressure to have an iPhone over other phones.

Where will this be useful? I don't understand the use case

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

My first reaction was ‘this sounds like it might be useful’ but I’ve read the copy and I still don’t fully grok where I would use it effectively.

Having the curl example is good, but I feel like a few example workflow diagrams that show some cool things you build with it would be useful.

My guess:

Say you had a CRM app where you wanted to let users schedule sales appointments. You could use this API to send the events.
