whenever someone at work says they have trouble with a web service or api I'm like "Idk I can curl it just fine, what's your request look like" and you would not believe how many developers get confused by this question. It's so goddamn frustrating

They know how to use Postman and that is it.

Hey that's not fair, plenty of them also know how to upload hardcoded secrets to postman.

Make sure to save all your secrets in git and then upload from git to postman, that way your security incident is way more repeatable

I get the same confusion when I prove someone wrong using a universal curl example. The same guy that parses JSON by hand (rather than use a library) can’t remember how to fucking use curl.

Of course I know him. He's me.

Or a past version of me anyway that was too dumb for its own good and also tried to do datetime stuff and several other complex things. Daft moron, that guy. Glad I don't have to work with such idiots any-

Looks at coworkers

Glad I can now look down on such-

Looks at own work

You know what, never mind.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
