> I've been doing web development for more than a decade and I still can't figure out what REST actually means, it's more of a vibe.

While I generally agree that REST isn’t really useful outside of academic thought experiments: I’ve been in this about as long as you are, and it really isn’t hard. Try reading Fieldings paper once; the ideas are sound and easy to understand, it’s just with a different vision of the internet than the one we ended up creating.
