I find it striking that in the same day I saw a video about how someone "Made an API in 20 minutes with one prompt" and this. The two approaches seem very divergent. One that is almost cavalier about things like security, standards, etc and another that is (almost) over engineered.

One observation, is that I there are two trains of thought. Using OAD (Open API Descriptions) as a source of truth and generating code from there or treating OAD as an artifact that comes out of some other tools.

I personally see OpenAPI as kind of a glue that can allow different tooling to be able to speak the same language.

Overall I found the linked Moonwalk[1] document to be more interesting. But there is some interesting analysis to be found in this article as well.
