The repost of this (I don't know how close it was to the original sharing) was about a month after Google first released the initial, extremely limited G+ API -- and only four months after Google introduced G+. (Google had already rolled out another set of APIs at the time of that repost.)
> Any idea if it's gotten better?
G+ in specific has a much more robust API than it did at the time (unsurprisingly, given how new it was then), and more significantly Google in general has really developed very much in a way that seems to be in the direction Yegge was calling for in the essay.
