    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

      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.

          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
