The fresh-faced programmer, high on caffeine and optimism, wonders why features take so long. Meanwhile, the battle-scarred veterans watch in silence, knowing the eldritch horrors that await—legacy code, unexpected dependencies, and the inevitable "just one small change" from marketing.

While normal developers see Postman as a simple wrench to fix API requests, Postman sees itself as the Apple of testing tools – complete with grandiose keynotes and revolutionary features nobody asked for. What started as a humble Chrome extension has evolved into a bloated ecosystem that requires 16GB of RAM just to send a GET request. Meanwhile, developers just want to check if their endpoint returns a 200 OK without having to join a cult. The irony? We're all still using it while complaining about it. Stockholm syndrome for developers.
