Shots Fired: The Plugin Addiction
The eternal lie every VS Code user tells themselves. "Just one more extension and I'll be productive, I swear!" Meanwhile, IntelliJ users are watching from their fortress of integrated features, sipping coffee and judging silently. Truth is, we're all just trying to avoid actually writing code by endlessly customizing our environment. The plugin rabbit hole is deeper than any Stack Overflow thread you've ever fallen into.

CEO Of New AI Code Editor vs Actual Product
The corporate world's obsession with AI has reached peak absurdity. Top image: CEO strutting around with sunglasses, basking in the glory of launching "the next revolutionary AI code editor" that probably just autocompletes semicolons. Bottom image: The actual dev team proudly showcasing their groundbreaking innovation—a new theme, one lonely extension, and the same VS Code we've been using since forever. Because why fix what's profitable when you can just slap "AI" on the marketing slides and watch the venture capital roll in?

My Friend Told Me She Loves TypeScript
Friend: "I love TypeScript!" Me: *shows them actual TypeScript code with VSCode extension development* Friend: *visible confusion* Turns out they just love the idea of type safety, not the existential crisis of configuring tsconfig.json and wrestling with extension APIs. It's like saying you love cooking but fainting at the sight of a raw chicken. The expectation vs. reality gap is wider than my monitor bezels.

The Fastest Editor In The West*
Microsoft employee proudly shows off VS Code as "my fastest editor" while completely oblivious to the fact that it's still activating extensions in the background. Anyone who's ever opened VS Code knows that feeling of false hope when you think you can start coding immediately, only to stare at that loading bar for what feels like several geological eras. Sure, it's "fast"... if your definition of fast includes time to brew coffee, contemplate existence, and perhaps learn a new programming language while waiting.

Just Give Us The Extension
The tech world's going wild about "agentic AI IDEs" promising revolutionary coding experiences. Marketing pitch: "Our next-gen IDE will transform your workflow!" Reality check: it's literally just VS Code with a single extension slapped on it. Companies repackaging existing tools with minimal AI features and selling them as groundbreaking innovations is peak Silicon Valley energy. The shocked cat face perfectly captures how developers feel when they peek behind the curtain and discover they've been hyped up about glorified VS Code plugins.

Just One More Plugin
The eternal VS Code addict's bargaining phase. "Just one more extension and I'll be productive, I swear!" Meanwhile, IntelliJ users watch from their feature-complete fortress, sipping coffee that cost as much as their IDE subscription. The extension count hits triple digits while startup time approaches geological epochs. We've all been there — convincing ourselves that this color theme or that bracket colorizer is the missing piece to becoming a 10x developer. Spoiler: it never is.

After Getting How Many Plugins Do You Stop
Ah, the classic developer paradox. "I prefer VS Code because it's lightweight and simple!" *proceeds to transform it into a computational black hole with 47 extensions that colorize brackets, play lo-fi beats when you commit, and predict your next line of code based on your zodiac sign* The irony of turning your "lightweight" editor into something that requires 16GB of RAM just to open a text file is the purest form of developer self-deception. We're all just one extension away from needing a cooling system for our laptops.
