> model driven development never really took off same as to why REST is now not a hot thing anymore, the idea that your API is just a dumb wrapper around data model is poor api design. API-driven development didn't really took off either, that is write your spec in grpc/OpenAPI and have the plumbing code generated in both ends. It's technically already there with various tools, but because of dogma like "code generation is bad", quality of code generators, or whatever reason, we're still writting "API code"
