The Voxgig blog

Long-form writing on the work we actually do. We post when we have something worth your time, and not before.

Four threads

Everything we write falls into one of four threads. Loosely.

SDK engineering

Generated code is still code. You own it. The honest tradeoffs between deterministic and AI-assisted generation, and why "looks generated" is a template problem, not a generator problem.

Agent Experience

What actually changes when AI agents start calling your API. MCP servers, tool schema design, error semantics an agent can survive, rate limits for traffic that never sleeps.

Developer Experience

Documentation is technical debt you pay down in advance. Onboarding that works, and the uncomfortable economics of supporting developers who never pay you a cent.

Developer Relations

The Fireside-podcast view of the craft. How DevRel programs start, scale, and sometimes quietly die. We say which.

Featured posts

If you only read three, read these. New here? Start at the top.

Why use a REPL? (and how to build one for your API)

A Postman collection is a museum exhibit. A REPL over your API is a workbench, and you learn faster on a workbench. We show how Voxgig SDK Generator builds one straight from an OpenAPI spec.

SDK launch series

The first SDK-product-launch post lands here. Likely topic: "What we learned generating SDKs for 500 public APIs."

Agent Experience series

The first Agent Experience post lands here. Likely topic: "Tool schemas an agent can actually reason about."

Write for the Voxgig blog

What we publish

  • Guest posts from practitioners whose work we’d otherwise be talking about on Fireside.
  • One test, every time: would this help you make a better technical decision? If not, it does not run.

What we don't

  • Promotional pieces. Link-building submissions. AI-generated drafts. We can tell, and we say no.

Pitch by emailing info@voxgig.com with a working title, the audience you’d write for, and one or two pieces you’ve published elsewhere.
