From a job description in weworkremotely

To apply, send a POST request with Content-Type: Application/json to link up there, the required parameters are: name, email, github and city optional parameters are resume, linkedin and other.

Ah, wow, that will be very challenging to post some json. Hmmmm... 'man curl'. Yup.

I mean, this is an interesting idea that will keep out the folks who don't know how to search SO, but that's about it. Plenty of other riffraff will be able to 'apply'. (Heck I might even be able to figure it out.)

So using Postman is cheating I guess?
