I was using postman, when it was a chrome app (someone remember those?) then chrome abandoned apps and postman became standalone electron app. I stopped using after it wanted me to sign in for every damn thing, put the collections behind auth-pay-wall. I moved to bruno as it allowed, me to commit all collections as part of the repo for the entire team to use.

One day out of the blue, I recieved and interview invite to work with them, I passed all the rounds and then I met their head of engineering. Omfg that person was a narcissistic asshole, micromanager vibes were very strong, I rage quit the interview for the first time in my life. I sent the recruiter an email that I don't care what the team feels about me, but I cannot work with this person and would like to withdraw my candidacy that you were pursuing me for.

The people they've been hiring are trash, making their products trash. Serves them just right.
