OpenAPI is not what I thought
Sometimes I do my best thinking in the car and today was an excellent example of this. I had a phone call today with a the digital agency Authentic who have been hired to help you stop saying Swagger, when you mean OpenApi. I’m only partially kidding. They asked me some hard questions about why I got involved in the OpenAPI Initiative, and experiences I have had with OpenAPI delivering value. Apparently this started a chain reaction of noodling in my subconscious because while driving my daughter to ballet, it hit me. I’ve been thinking about OpenAPI all wrong.
