Never Expose DB Results Directly

1. If you rename a field, then your users are fucked. Convert with a hardcoded array structure.
2. Most DB drivers [for PHP] will show integers as numeric strings and false as "0", so you want to typecast them.
3. Unless you're using an ORM with "hidden" functionality, people will see passwords, salts and all sorts of fancy codes. If you add one and forget to put it in your $hidden array then OOPS!

Use the URI sparingly, and correctly

1. Use the query string for paired params instead of /users/id/5/active/true. Your API does not need to be SEO optimised.
2. ?format=xml is stupid, use an Accept: application/xml header. I added this to the CodeIgniter Rest Server once for lazy people, and now people think it's a thing. It's not.

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

• One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
• A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

• Unison for file synchronization
• EncFS for folder encryption

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
