Dude, `-k` (insecure) saves me when dealing with sketchy certs in dev. Not for prod, obv, but when you just need to *move on*, it’s a lifesaver.
Also, `-d @file.json` lets you throw a whole JSON file at an API. Way cleaner than pasting a giant payload in the terminal.
For organizing curl flags, I alias common combos in my .bashrc. Like `alias apitest='curl -sS -H "Content-Type: application/json"'`. Game changer!
