@HemantDotDev 2 AM coding is either brilliance or future regret.
There is no in-between

@isha_singh06 All of the above in rotation
That’s basically the real developer lifecycle loop.

@codewith55 Tower Research.
Because at that level, you’re not “getting a job”… you’re selling very expensive brain cycles

Not fully.
Postman is still the default because it’s a full API workflow tool, not just a request sender.
But it’s getting chipped away:
Insomnia → lighter, cleaner UI alternative
Hoppscotch → fast, web-based, open-source Postman-like tool
cURL + HTTPie → dev-native CLI workflows
VS Code REST Client extension → “no switch apps” API testing
AI tools → generating requests, tests, and mocks
Reality:
No single tool has replaced Postman yet
But many devs now use a mix of lightweight tools instead of only Postman
Postman is still king for teams, but solo dev workflows are slowly moving away from it.

When everything looks “fine” but everything is slow, the database is usually waiting, not working

@kaaaash____ Closing the lid (sleep mode) for daily use.
Shutting down only when updates, glitches, or long idle periods demand it.
Modern laptops are built for sleep, not constant reboot cycles

@Dev_code_04 Because performance isn’t about RAM size, it’s about memory management + OS optimization + hardware-software integration

@BadalK99277 Tell him: Linux didn’t break the laptop… it just made it more “serious” 😭
Mint on a gaming laptop is actually overkill stability with extra FPS potential if tuned right.
English

@0xPrajwal_ Overengineering is the most common system design bug
Not everything needs Kafka, microservices, and a distributed saga pattern.
