There is no universe where I see myself paying for postman. It was a bloated, hobbling mess that is now a chundering monster that has to somehow make money to satisfy VCs who invested in a glorified cURL interface and have to stuff it with features to try and entice enterprises. It is everything wrong with software and I welcome any lightweight alternatives

The game was up for Postman when I realised I could replicate all its functionality I needed by asking ChatGPT to write me some Perl scripts that made heavy use of LWP.
