Well-written article. Its always fun to inspire coworkers/peers to actually read Fielding's dissertation and then have a proper discussion about what REST actually is/means. There are those who get it and are eager to think about the architectural side of the networked apps they work on/with. And then there are those who just want to code / get things done. I can't be angry about the latter ones. But thinking more about architectural implications would bring us forward in the long term.
Whenever I use or write an OpenAPI/Swagger definition, my heart breaks. At least it gets work done. But that's also the reason why I personally still prefer good old server-side rendered HTML with progressive enhancement. There is so much overhead involved in defining some arbitrary HTTP API and then have a UI in some overly complex way. HTML is such a powerful tool to drive the client (the Browser).
