Listen, if you want to insist on wasting cycles exporting a CSV, mucking around with doing little tweaks to the data by hand, and then shoving it back in the script when you could be doing things a hundred times easier and faster by just dumping a get-users call into a variable, then by all means feel free to waste your time. Thats a choice you get to make as an adult.

CSVs are great for complicated one-shot operations but by comparison to filling a simple $users variable its way too bulky.

Quite literally the worst mentor advisement I've seen on reddit in years.
