Wow, so many gems here! Definitely stealing the `jq` and `-w` tricks—already tried `curl ... | jq .` and it’s *chef’s kiss*.

The `~/.curlrc` tip is gold—set up my timeouts and defaults there.

Question though: anyone use `--compressed` for APIs that gzip? Worth the hassle?

Also, big thanks for the tool recs—`httpie` and `insomnia` are going on my list. Y’all rock!
