What would you do?
At a previous job, I worked on a customer project that used Raspberry Pis spread throughout a location to trilaterate Bluetooth signals — essentially forming a mesh network to map movement patterns.

The API-First Mindset: Building for Integration from Day One
Your systems probably can't talk to each other. And that's a problem.
I've seen it happen over and over — teams build software that works beautifully on its own, but the second it needs to connect with another tool? Everything falls apart.
