The author, a developer, shares their experience with using Blackbird API Development Platform to build projects efficiently. They previously spent time creating boilerplate code and OpenAPI specs for each project, but found that traditional tools were not meeting their needs due to limitations such as lack of support and flexibility. The author discovered Blackbird, which provides an AI-backed design feature to generate OpenAPI specs, as well as a code generation tool that can create projects with minimal setup. With Blackbird, the author was able to quickly set up a project, generate boilerplate code, and focus on implementing business logic without worrying about API path routing. This allowed them to save time and be more productive, which will also benefit other services in their new application.
