So I zoomed in to make sure and realised there is nothing to make sure, with what the image compression seems to be doing.
And then I zoomed out to normal, then blocked the lower half and looked at the upper half and it looks like it is dropping straight down. Then I blocked the upper half and looked at the lower half and it looks like it is going straight up.

So, I guess you need to be scrolling from down to up to be able to get the illusion of it escalating instead of dropping.

    It would be better to use a motion blur instead of gaussian blur.
    That way, we would know that the well is going upwards.

    I was scrolling down and hadn't yet read the bottom text and it felt like the well was going downwards.

    They try to assert that they do more:

    Google also adds that you can create fake endpoints for testing, which I think, would be pretty useful in certain cases.

    On the other hand, it takes 2 hours to code up a server that would give placeholder responses.
    Maybe add another 2 hours to add the ability to read JSON schemas, to let you create endpoint schemas and feed them without having to hardcode endpoints and responses.
    And this is in human time terms. If you are using AI, like the people affected by the above change, you can probably whip up your own hardcoded endpoint for each project within minutes.

    Rest of it is just sharing of configs and all that bs that all other business focussed applications add.

    writing a throwaway script

    So instead you install a throwaway program that also adds stuff to your registry? Hehe.

    I remember having installed Postman because it was in the installation instructions of Camunda BPMN, just to realise later that I didn't require that just to make some BPMN diagrams.

    And then by the time I actually had to make my own HTTP request, I was already on Linux.
