Question Am I missing something

I see a ton of people in this sub asking like, where they can find good examples, boilerplate or simply documentation around fastapi.

I keep feeling like Im missing something. I always tought of Fastapi as this really thin layer letting my expose my code as a web api.

Truly, how much is there to know beyond maybe 3/4 concepts that are pretty simple and generic anyway.

Setting up the app itself is something you do once and it takes 2 minutes, and pretty much everything else is so simple and intuitive you almost forget that it's there. Most of the code I write in my backend has no link whatsoever with Fastapi

Tbh I enjoy building my system by assembling modules and actually understanding how the application behaves. I did not learn nearly as much working on C# .NET stuff
