  • This argument doesn’t really hold up, honestly. That is all easily done with shell scripting, and shell scripts can be committed to source control and shared to other members of the team easily. This is what my team does for our common API needs. It even has ecosystem support in many places, such as popular openapi renderers providing curl command examples for routes automatically, being able to copy the exact request made by a web browser as a curl command from the network tab automatically, and so on.

    I use curl for absolutely everything, including testing out my work for each and every ticket I work on. Been doing this for years now. It works great and has many, many advantages over property bullshit like Postman.











  • Definitely not for me. That might be the case on a day here or there (say, if one of my kids has a longer doctor’s appointment), but usually I’m working 7-9 hours in a day. I do tend to work a slightly under 40 hours a week, though.

    I honestly just wouldn’t be able to get all of my assigned work done in time if I only worked that much, as nice as it might be.
