the fact that cURL is hosted on haxx.se always throws me. It makes me immediately associate haxx === hacking and I feel uncomfortable. This is honestly why I use other tools instead even though it's more an unconscious decision than a conscious one.


Yet you post on a site called Hacker News.


Ummm. You nailed me there.


And people wonder why integrity of the "news" media is important xD


I would never hire someone that properly doesn't use industry standard software that's purpose-built for the task just because the site name "makes them uncomfortable."


cURL is a good utility but in my view calling it industry standard is a stretch. Personally I like httpie and postman.
