The hardcore randomly change all the urls in testing to make sure nothing is hardcoded. A hateos api should still work.

Haha, I thought about doing that, but it would just serve to piss a lot of people off.

I think it would be kind of cool to have a little project/developer toy that would be an API where only a single endpoint was provided (think http://mysteryapi.com), and the rest of it had to be discovered. It could be like the labyrinth from House of Leaves, but in REST API format.
