    This 2025-era rant seems quaint in comparison to how 2026 has gone.

      You would think, now that we're running demon-powered code on our sandboxed machine, that allowing that machine to have full control over the local client would be considered a bad idea.

      But Microsoft won't fix VSCode because it would possibly impede usability by amateurs, and inject tedious security concepts like boundaries into the dev process.
