➡️ The #Linux user installs a whole brewery in the corner and declares free drinks for everyone, but then spends the rest of the night explaining why their homemade brew is objectively superior.

I recently shifted all my projects to Bruno from Postman and I'm loving it. Wrote an article about why I chose Bruno over Postman for API testing.
