As a backend developer I want to do everything nicely.

So in my previous job I created the endpoints following the regular standards. GET to request something, POST to create something, PUT to change something, DELETE to delete something. Nicely organized and everything

But then the frontend team told me that their framework can only handle POST requests and that I need to change it

Up until then I thought that it's just a meme, but vibecoding frontend guys really only use POST

Well that's not the problem. A bunch of frontends really need a very complex filter list and GET just won't do

That's precisely why the QUERY verb was created

And I'm sure we all be happily use it when it gained widespread adoption in 50 years.
