There is even the brand new wording invented by people who had most likely never been to the university.

Taken from the blog post you shared. I’m sure you have lots of insightful things to say, but I don’t think you need to try and negatively characterize a group of people to say them.

Instead of random requests, modifying the internal data of the application directly (as every single protocol known to me allows in a nutshell,) the endpoints in the web application should expose transition handlers only. The outmost world should not be allowed (and therefore even have an access) to modify data directly. It should be permitted to initiate transitions only.

This reminded me of CQRS pattern, where “commands” are used to create/modify data (usually not directly to the DB schema but to some sort of an “event store”) and queries are “read only”.
