While the author doesn't seem to like version based APIs very much, I always recommend baking them in from the very start of your application.

You cannot predict the future and chances are there will be some breaking change forced upon you by someone or something out of your control.

Disagree. Baking versioning in from the start means they will much more likely be used, which is a bad thing.

Everything I know about good API design
