Co-worker: Please finish and push your frontend asap, I need that to start working on the backend.
Me: Why aren't you using Postman?
Cw: I don't like it.

And he calls himself a backend developer?

Or why isn't he using curl or whatever test harness is fitting his language?
How sad is that? 😭

Well, I'm in a similar situation except the application is not a webapp. The network protocol is proprietary and the test tools do not exist.

Well, at least he didn't come up with some bullshit technical "justification".

Just "not liking" a core tool of your trade is kinda whacky. Gave me a laugh, at least.

Maybe he hates the icon. Or the font. Or, is your co-worker Richard Stallman and he just hates it because it has a GUI?

Rest of the conversation:
Me: Why?
Cw: It's hard.
Me: Well, developing frontend is hard too!

Lovely
