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.

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
Security compromise as code.
