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

... -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'? No. Why would you do that when you can just do ... --json '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'. Yeah curl is awesome.

If you're trying to say that curl isn't he best option for my mom, you're totally right.

For developers, on he other hand...

I believe they are just pointing out a more concise cli option. No value judgment included as far as I can tell.

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah tbh I just thought the --json option was pretty neat - I hadn't known about it until fairly recently
