I’ve been a Postman user for my entire developer career. I remember when it was just a simple Chrome extension that made pentesting APIs slightly less painful. Those were simpler times. Today, I find myself joining the growing exodus of developers abandoning these tools because they sell out.

So much work and investigation into a tool that is a front end for something already on your system.
I just wish that they wrote more articles. Their writing style is superb. Can’t argue with this though:
I feel like people who make these arguments in earnest are simply terrible at change and lack empathy. “Works for me, so I refuse to understand why it doesn’t work for others”. It’s so conservative neckbeard and offputting.
Yes and no.
There’s a lot to be said about empathy, assumed knowledge/expertise, acquisition of knowledge/expertise, mentorship, deadlines, etc…
But on the other hand, there are psychological effects that result in people being truly blind to alternatives. It’s not that they don’t think the alternative is correct, or that they don’t want to spend mental/emotional energy on learning an alternative. It’s that they truly can’t even consider that there is an alternative until they are explicitly told to use it. That website exists for those people.
But how do you collaborate?
expose a backdoor endpoint on every collaborator’s device and peruse their shell history
