Thanks! Right now I'm feeling pretty good about docker BUT I'm still a bit nervous about how storage works and networking works. I need to get a level deeper on those 2 topics. I'll be sure to check this video out.
Sure, if you've got muscle memory for all the flags (plus it lets you reason about all the other programs that pipe stuff to curl). I personally find myself using httpie [1] at least as much.
As a maintainer, I feel obligated to mention Hurl [1], a tool for testing HTTP with plain text and curl. It’s a wrapper around libcurl, in a single binary, with syntactic sugar for asserts. You can use it also like curl to give you an HTTP output.
The big win with curl is the growing adoption of "copy as curl" in browser dev tools as well as "example of API call in curl" for third party API documentation.
I don't think I could move to anything else for that reason alone.
curl is amazing! I love curl. This is not meant to replace it completely. Probe just makes those most common use-cases friendlier, like looking at headers, or inspecting JSON retuned by an API with syntax highlighting, or querying without needing to reach for jq etc.
I am a generalist undergrad, just finished my graduation, doing final year thesis on Computer File Systems. I have deep understanding of various abstraction layers of Computers and how they work together, waiting to specialize on cloud, servers, ops and infosec.
