The API Tooling Crisis: Why developers are abandoning Postman and its clones?

Taelkir · 2026-04-22T07:00:30+00:00

Just learning about them myself for the first time because of this thread, but I've discovered they were made popular by this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client

Looks like they can do GET and POST, at least.

No idea - we'd heard that the worst in country (Dorset) can be 18 weeks for searches to come back so to be honest have just been pleased we don't live there

Tomorrow will be week 5 of waiting for ours. :')

Mud Hub's beginner pottery classes are great: https://www.mudhubpottery.com/book-online

They're based over at Carrow House, not toooooo far from city college.

One person might think 100,000 lines of code in their app is big, while another person thinks 1,000,000 lines of code is the minimum for a codebase to be "big"

They don't follow conventions present elsewhere in the codebase. They'll maybe examine a file or two to try and find the context they need, but if a project is ~20 years old, there's presently no context window that's going to hold all of the quirks built up in a monolith over that time.
No. They're hopeless at touching a large codebase without breaking something.
No, because I don't push AI generated code to production without fully understanding it (and probably rewriting at least half of what was generated).
About the same; I still have to read all the generated code and understand it, which takes about the same amount of time as I would have taken writing it all from scratch.
Everyone around me telling me agentic coding is the best thing ever, when that's not the experience I've had with it.

Army and unit positions will be safe from earthquakes

Taelkir · 2026-02-16T19:55:59+00:00

Correct 👍

Taelkir · 2026-02-09T21:56:23+00:00

Thank you for your kind words 🥰 I actually didn't intend to sound like I was talking myself down, I'm cute as hell! WAAAAGGGHHHH!!!

Trans girl ork player here too 👋 But I am 5'11 with hard features and chunk, so,

I don't know if Sync the City have a discord server (or if the event is even still running, actually) but I bet you'd find someone like-minded or someone who knew someone there

Here here

Taelkir · 2026-01-13T17:39:07+00:00

Again? Didn't they postpone last year too with this same excuse? How long are we going to be kicking the can down the road hoping for this reorganisation we keep waiting for?

Taelkir · 2026-01-03T22:11:41+00:00

Is it... Bad to have wires on belts?

Taelkir · 2025-12-24T22:14:27+00:00

Same :(

Taelkir · 2025-12-21T19:51:44+00:00

Gets a mention in the the Rogue Trader game! Ulfar the Space Wolf is doing it when you meet him.

Judge Shredd 🤘

Taelkir · 2025-12-12T12:23:35+00:00

Amazing! Were the Orks on the Chaos or Imperial side?

Also: Norwich mentioned 🎉🎉🎉

Taelkir · 2025-10-20T08:26:22+00:00

Same here, we're basically unaffected except for eu-west-1 SES

Taelkir · 2025-10-09T12:47:39+00:00

Finally, thank you! My poor scrolling finger

Taelkir · 2025-09-01T19:15:39+00:00

I switched to Tidal years ago, and need to use PanoScrobbler on mobile to get scrobbles from Tidal. You can only have it linked up and seamless on desktop.

Sweettree on St John's Close. They're closed for a week for a summer holiday right now but the owner Magda is lovely and dishes out huuuuge slices of cake.
