Me, I have a dark and immature sense of humor.

I like it. It makes me smile. Don't take it personally.

  Ditto, enjoy the catharsis. Good advice to not take it personally, I'll try to give a less aggressive point of view. All of this has come to mind [but not repeated out of kindness or laziness, whichever]. So, to start: someone wants me to install Postman/similar and pay real money to share and make a request? Absolutely not. I can read the spec from Swagger, or whatever, too... and write down what was useful [for others]. We all have cURL or some version of Python. Surely a few phrases of text worth making plans to save, and paying for [at least twice, you to research and them to store], are worth putting into source control. It's free, even gifts dividends. How? Automation that works faster than a human pushing a button. Or creates more buttons!

As long as I agree to what is being said, I like this style :)

I like reading it sometimes. It doesn't make me more likely to do what it suggests though, if anything potentially less likely. Like a "Haha, what a guy. Now let's get on with my day" kind of vibe.

Foul language has never really bothered me, and I think it's effective in communicating a relatable (to me) frustration with people ignoring the answer staring them in the face. > The tools you need are simple. They're fast. They're reliable. They've been battle-tested by millions of people for years. Just fucking use them.

What a weird place to try and raise moral panic. Do you ask people "Do you actually enjoy talking like that?" every time you hear a curse word?

  > What a weird place to try and raise moral panic. Sigh. No moral panic involved and I don’t care if people swear. I asked about the style for a reason. It’s a bit like if someone makes technical posts written in archaic English or in pirate speak. They’re free to do so of course but it’s still a weird choice given context

Uhm, yes.

It's a very millennial flavor of Reddit-coded edginess that appeals mostly to other Reddit millennials.

It takes me back. This was normal discourse in the 80s and 90s in the development community, especially the BBSs and telnet communities. I think the entire development community back then was afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome!
