APIs and Batch Jobs: The Comedy of Modern Tech

Alex Techtonic

So, you ever notice how HTTP methods are like the Kardashians? Everyone knows their names, but no one really knows what they do. I mean, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE—these sound like a list of things you do at a grocery store, not a tech protocol.

I was talking to a developer the other day, and he told me, 'Alex, I use GET all the time, but I'm not sure what it actually does.' I said, 'Well, that's like Kim Kardashian. You see her all over the place, but what does she do? She just gets things done, right?'

So, next time you're using POST, just think of it as Khloe Kardashian. You know she's there, and you know she's doing something, but you're not quite sure what. And DELETE? That's like Kourtney Kardashian. You know she's the one who cleans up the mess, but sometimes you're not sure if she's really there at all. Right? Right?

Now, let's talk about Postman. Postman is like the Swiss Army Knife of API testing. It does everything! You can test your APIs, automate them, and even integrate them with your CI/CD pipelines. It's like having a tool belt, a toolbox, and a whole hardware store all in one app.

I was using Postman the other day, and I thought, 'This is like having a personal assistant who can do everything for me.' But then I realized, 'Wait, I already have a personal assistant who can do everything for me. And she's not as buggy as Postman.'

So, next time you're using Postman, just think of it as your personal assistant. You know, the one who can do everything, but sometimes you have to tell them to do it twice. And if you ever need to explain Postman to a non-technical friend, just say, 'It's like a Swiss Army Knife, but for APIs.' They'll nod and pretend to understand. Trust me.

Now, let's talk about Control-M. Control-M is like a game of Jenga, but for job dependency. You know, you have all these jobs, and they all depend on each other. One wrong move, and everything comes tumbling down. It's like trying to balance a house of cards on a windy day.

I was working on a Control-M project, and I thought, 'This is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded.' But then I realized, 'Wait, I have a Rubik's Cube, and I can't solve it even with my eyes open.' So, Control-M is like a Rubik's Cube, but with more pressure and less color.

So, next time you're working with Control-M, just think of it as a game of Jenga. You know, the one where you have to be really careful, and if you make one wrong move, everything collapses. And if you ever need to explain Control-M to a non-technical friend, just say, 'It's like a game of Jenga, but with more stress and less fun.' They'll nod and pretend to understand. Trust me.

Now, let's talk about Pre-request Scripts in Postman. These scripts are like your grandma's recipes. You know, the ones that have been passed down for generations, and no one knows how they work, but they always do. It's like having a magic potion that fixes all your API testing problems.

Alex Techtonic

I was looking at a Pre-request Script the other day, and I thought, 'This is like my grandma's chili recipe. It's written in a language I don't understand, but it always works.' And then I tried to write my own script, and it was like trying to cook from a recipe written in Klingon. It didn't go well.
