I also find the term “shareholder primacy” very fittings. Its origin is quite fascinating as well.

You got the dodge brothers (yes that dodge) to thank for it.

Sure you can also just ask them, but when they're talking to your chatbot they're actually in the moment trying to achieve a specific goal.

That's often not the case when they receive your questionnaire.

In the same vein, I always found @deno.land's http imports kinda silly

```
import _ from "https://esm.sh/lodash"
```

But in the age of llms, being able to have everything contained in a single file without the need of a package.json makes generating prototypes a lot more convenient.

>a Cmd-click on a client's function name in VS Code will take you straight to the server implementation

The dream!

That reminds me that I still have bunch of places in my project where CMD+click brings you to an interface definition instead of the implementation. I get why it does that, but meh.

50 LOC? 😮

I would have expected just the types to be 50x this. 😂

Altbekannte Taktik um ein Zeichen an alle zu senden. Und man kann schon sehen, dass es funktioniert.

Auf der Vogelplatform häufen sich schon die Kommentare in die Richtung: "That's what you get for unionizing" und "Thanks, unions"

Immer schön nach unten treten.

That’s fair. I think some do it for the reasons I mentioned above without being totally dependent on having that job. Which can be a great feeling.

They also might just be romanticizing the barista job expecting it to be less stressful.

Which it is on some levels, but certainly not on others.

Why do you think this is odd? A part time job can provide a routine and will also ensure you have contact humans regularly while getting some money and more importantly health insurance.

Dass Leute wie Amthor und Spahn im Bundestag statt auf Bewährung sind, ist mir echt immer noch ein Rätsel.
