Thomas Johnson, Multiplayer, Co-Founder and CTO

Developers don’t want to read your API documentation. Yet too often, teams still rely on static docs, outdated Postman collections. In modern, fast-moving environments, that just doesn’t cut it.

This talk explores the shift from documentation-as-text to documentation-as-experience. We’ll cover the pitfalls of traditional API docs, and walk through practical, developer-friendly alternatives—like live sandboxes, executable notebooks, embedded tests, and self-validating examples that evolve alongside your code. You’ll learn how to make your API docs dynamic, interactive, and accurate by design—not after the fact.

Whether you’re building a public developer platform or internal APIs, this session will give you real strategies to reduce integration friction, cut support load, and create documentation that developers actually want to use.
