Maybe I didnt word it well. I didnt mean thats the literal message, I was just mocking the way gatekeeping elitist programmers talk. Just because you can do everything in command line, doesnt mean you dont need a UI for anything other than games.

Principles that Im referring to are e.g. abstraction and ‘divide and conquer’. IT exists to make things simple that would otherwise be hard (to put it simply). Why would you deliberately abstain from using an abstraction that makes API testing easier and faster?

Not saying Postman is good btw, but there are alternatives and command line is not one I would recommend to a sane person (maybe to someone that needs a way to feel superior and brag about being a hardcore programmer).

The entire rant is basically: ‘Why would you use a programming language, just write binary’. I hate these kinds of arguments because they go against the most basic principles of IT.
