I actually have the opposite opinion. I'm an experienced web developer. Setting up polling is easier for me than setting up an HTTP endpoint. I typically use a language with an event loop (async/await), so there is always something like `setInterval(poll, 500)`. All that code needs is a connection to the internet. If the server is down for 24 hours I can start it up and it'll read the missed events. I can set up 10 dev environments with just an API key difference in the config. I can batch apply events in a single database transaction, ensuring consistency. But with a webhook, I need to ensure that my server can accept incoming connections, the external API knows that location. Each dev env needs to replicate this public HTTP server set up. I need to monitor the uptime of the server closely as missing events or erroring on a subset of events could leave my database in an inconsistent state.
