OpenAPI is great, we use it in combination with redoc (https://github.com/Redocly/redoc) to have a almost 0 effort API for our product.

But man, my tokenizer is in trouble with OpenAPI and OpenAI.

I keep mixing them up now too.

Realised that writing a consistent API was more effort than it was worth compared to the one-shot setup cost of creating a set of basic components and re-using them to generate interfaces. Most of the API layer is just boilerplate and we can focus more on biz logic instead.

For a while, the "P" key on my laptop wouldn't work reliably... which is really annoying when your work is all focused around OpenAPI but everyone else keeps assuming AI :P
