Don't encode POST bodies like GitHub Copilot, use URLSearchParams

If people don't die from your mistakes they're not important IMO.

Note that people die if data is lost, causing companies to go bankrupt (suecide). But really, not everything has to be correct, look at Intel and AMD. They've been compromising correctness for speed for quite awhile, and we're mostly fine.

Yeah because losing money, market share or people’s data is fine ?

Depends on the numbers, if my company loses 10k because i made a mistake nobody would "care". Mistakes happen to the best of us, which is obviuous looking at public CVE's. If it's 100k it'd be a different story, considering we're not that big (35 employees). It's just money, it can be replaced, human lives can't.

EDIT: I assume from your comment that you formally verify every line of code in every system you depend on, and run RISC-V to make sure the hardware doesn't tamper with your instructions.
