So, Postman requires you to create an account on their systems to... lemme check...
Perform HTTP requests locally.

I need to create an account to perform HTTP requests.

And the whole dev community is looking at this and say "yeah ofc it's perfectly reasonable"

This is bullshit and the dev community knows it and condemns it.

You can also use postman without an account (as I am doing right now).

TBF I never liked it. It intervenes too much. The only good thing Postman has is collections. For all of the rest -- I use curl

that's why i've been rolling with a postman version 9.something, with everything to "shut the fuck up about updates".

and it's more like "this is complete batshit insane bonkers, and someone responsible should be stoned for this, and not in the fun way - but postman still is the least terrible tool for the job at hand"

@tosensei until now I've always used the http rest client extension for VScode; I need to send a POST request, it sends the POST request. No nonsense. Simple, dumb, it also works like a charm.

lol really

nobody i've ever met is fine with Postman since they started with this bs. our corporate even banned any Postman version past this account-requirement was introduced
