"Hey team, some guy on HN said we should use Svelte because it has a good "aura". Has that been factored into our CBA?"

They'll go through everything: phones, journals, mail. They'll straight up call people in someone's phone and question them if they think it's relevant.

lol What? It's always amusing to me when someone makes absolute claims like "the industry" when having seen < 0.1% of it.

You're just speculating. Go listen to the John Gotti tapes. Go read The Five Families, The Sicilian Mafia, or Excellent Cadavers. These aren't deep people. There are no Michael Corleone's. They're all Sonny's.

Most "mafia" is local bookies and theft rings. Organization doesn't require intelligence. Nor does holding people up with a gun or threatening their family if they go to the cops. It's not "smart" to record politicians with their mistresses, it's just the thing you do if you want to commit more crimes.

> Corporations do think far ahead. But they often cannot act on it directly, because of short-term incentives.

Except tobacco companies, Wells Fargo, General Motors, Boeing, Purdue Pharma (I don't think getting your customer base addicted to drugs and dying from an overdose is "smart"), etc.

Not understanding how your actions may effect others (or simply not caring that they do) is a sign of a lack intelligence. Not understanding that your safety and wellness is directly tied to the safety and wellness of the people around you can only be excused if you're a toddler.

If they can kill with impunity they can certainly do the same with drugs.

Large-scale crack cocaine gangs existed too with substantial levels of organization but they still sell crack.

They're mostly unintelligent thugs motivated by greed. And I think the "Why would they kill their own customers?" implies they think that far ahead. Which is probably true as well for most major corps. They'll take short term profit over quite literally anything.

No, the pain pill debacle of the early aughts actually led to heroin usage.

What caused the rise of fentanyl was the US getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan and the Taliban (or whoever took over) burning the poppy fields.

> 'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.

— Orson Welles

It's complete fantasy that the mafia didn't deal hard drugs.

Orson Welles said it best:

"'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed."

And When "normal" people talk about api clients? lol This site is wild.

Irony died in this comment thread.

> Seems like maybe you should take your own advice.

Seems like maybe if you have to use your own custom definition of a word in order to support a point you might not have one. lol.

Is using curl considered re-implementing your own api client each time?

Because at this point I would do anything if I could get Github Copilot to understand the new language features and stop trying to constantly revert code.

The one specific thing I'm constantly having to deny is Copilot seeing this:

    List items = [];

    List items = new List();
