This is one of the reasons I will switch from Ubuntu back to Debian. Any Ubuntu tutorial will work for Debian. The laptop I am on today will be my last Ubuntu install.
The Postman UX is not good on it. It's easy to get lost in tabs, they should ditch the tabs and categorize requests under the actual endpoint. There is also no way to easily save like requests and give them better names that is also searchable. It's also built on electron which means its slow and clunky.
There is nothing good in this space. Swagger would do it if they let you save requests to local browser storage and just added a history dropdown to the endpoints. I use swagger and save common requests to a file system and open them in sublime. if its just JSON payloads I am working with it does the job.
I'm actually okay with Jira. I can't understand why they don't address performance, but I can roll with it because its not that abysmal. I honestly haven't seen something much better out there so it is what it is. It's confluence that I absolutely hate, thats where the performance and generally sad state of the UX gets to me. Bitbucket is even worse, but I had forgotten about its existence until recently because the company I now work for uses that clunky POS. There are good alternatives to those products, but somehow companies get roped into that garbage because they are already using Jira.
How can Atlassian have all that staff and such shit products?
Edit: I know the answer because I've been a company that did all of this. Build new shit and don't focus on the main product, then lay off your staff.
I'll say it, it sucks and its slow. The company I started at recently uses it and I hate it so much. Scrolling through a PR, viewing comments in a PR, adding comments in a PR, its all so clunky and GH Actions destroys BB pipelines. It's crap.
You don't think AI can improve in those regards? I highly disagree, its not this decade or even the next, but I wouldn't be surprised if things begin changing sometime in the 2040s. A decade I will be nearing retirement in but still working.
Some years ago (perhaps 2015) I told a non-programmer that MOST programmers would be obsolete by the end of the century because of AI. Surprisingly he scoffed saying there is no way AI will be able to handle all those business edge cases. The stuff in the article is pretty basic and a long way from complex business logic, but we are on our way. I just hope business application developers like myself can survive until retirement, which for me is sometime around 2050. I am getting less optimistic.
I've had the opposite experience sort of. A company sold my home loan off as-is common and failed to close the account. They reported me as delinquent to the credit bureau. So I did the thing you are supposed to do, repeatedly contacting mortgage loan fools to inform them my account is in good standing (took three times) and of course filing a dispute with the credit bureaus.
After having a credit score north of 700 for over a decade that was at 780 at its peak, my score dropped to around 600. I was horrified. It's been a year and it still hasn't recovered and is currently around 700 through no fault of my own. The only debt I've had since 2018 is home loans.
