To this day it remains incredibly useful to me, and weirdly obscure to people who I would've thought should know better.
Sometimes it's easier to use mitmproxy with an existing implementation than to read the documentation!
Back in 2011, I was using it to learn API development by intercepting mobile app requests when I discovered that Airbnb’s API was susceptible to Rails mass assignment (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5228). I then used it to modify some benign attributes, reached out to the company, and it landed me an interview. Rest is history.
