This is hilarious to me, after using the evil things for years . Of course, there are reasons to use the hated postman and companies (may they be forever cursed). And I plan to keep using them.

But many valid points are made

curl is not great when testing configuration for various software solutions. there are a few better options than postman like httpie and another one but I forget its name.

ducaale/xh is another much like curl. Closer to postman are Hoppscotch and Insomnia.

ok yeah I think the other one I used was like a fork of insomnia.

Xh is my favorite— a rewrite of httpie with some fixes.

Did you read the full post?

I did and I did not see anything in the article that would take your api and give you an equivalent statement in a variety of languages which I think is why it was nice using the programs but i has been over a year since I did it. It was a fairly high amount of convenience.
