Just because most of the EVs are software heavy, it doesn't mean that all of them are.
The upcoming Dacia Spring EV is a perfect counter-example.

A meeting that's mainly designed to let the employee give a pulse check, speak freely about annoyances and career path, and provide feedback to their manager, is a dystopian experience?
Also what you are describing on your second sentence is not a 1:1 meeting.

Agendas should be simple, or should I not come with an agenda at all?
An agenda, either shared with the other person or not, is fine. I'd rather have a meeting with agenda / talking points rather than one without. It doesn't prevent people from being able to contribute, as long as you don't monopolize your part.

This extension also keeps a history of requests.
How complicated are your requests? If I need to test a POST request with a JSON payload longer than a line or two, I'll go and construct my curl command in a text editor anyway, since the shell prompt / readline is not easy to edit. Once you need to start escaping single or double quotes or html payloads in the request, it quickly gets cumbersome. At that point I ditch the shell as a middleman and use the editor to submit the request for me.

Someone posted https://hurl.dev/ below. It looks like a command-line alternative to this, with a similar format, and support for assertions.

They are not comparable because node-red is a generic low-code programming tool while HA is home automation software.
If you mean how they compare when you plug in node-red to HA and use it for automations, rather than use HA's "native" automations... I believe the consensus is that node-red is more user-friendly in that way, and because it can plug to other things on its own it can provide more flexibility. On the other hand, HA has recently worked on the UI of their automations, and it is already pretty good for simple flows. In the end both of these approaches are great, each with its own pros and cons.

As I have also been frustrated with the direction Postman has taken, I have a great alternative to suggest, if the only thing you want to do is fire requests on demand easily and do not need automated testing.

The VS Code Rest Client extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re... is great for testing and debugging APIs.

You create a "my_request.http" file that contains something like

  POST https://example.com/comments HTTP/1.1
  content-type: application/json

  {
    "name": "sample",
    "time": "Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:27:50 GMT"
  }

First line is the method and url, then headers, then a newline, then the request body.

Hit ctrl+alt+p, the request is sent and you see the response in a side pane. Everything is encoded and decoded properly.

You can organize your tests under multiple files and folders.

I cannot recommend this extension enough, it has made my life so much easier.

Check out https://obsidian.md/ if you haven't already.

17 July 2017 removed ambiguity but still feels a bit awkward for US people.

Useful, thank you. It appears that this is the setting the Ubuntu / Gnome's "Power -> Power mode" setting changes as well.

Interesting. They used to have bundles of some Increment issues on a topic along with accompanying books, but they don't offer that any more.

The browser edition of zoom lacks a lot of features and also lacks in performance.
It's not like BlueJeans which has a web version pretty much aligned with the desktop client.

That's pretty cool, it reminded me of Windy which is also pretty awesome. In fact, peeking at the source of windy, it looks like it also uses Leaflet!

Thanks for posting, this is interesting. It also reminds me of the file format and simplicity of the REST Client VS Code plugin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...
