This is really a bummer. I enjoyed the Wunderground API a lot, luckily there are other options for weather.

As more people train as developers, will we see less exposure of data due to infrastructure issues?

We see less exposure of data because it's more profitable to push people to use proprietary apps that either cost money or are infested with annoying ads. This is why screen-scraping exists and is so popular, despite all the calls from nay-sayers who scream "don't screen-scrape! use the API instead!"

The Wunderground API was home to my first ever 'real' personal project, a little crawler to get some historical data I was interested in. To this day, it's still the best (multinational) weather source I've found.

I'm really sad to see it go, and I expect you're right that we'll see fewer things like this in the future.
