New UI, Same Old Microsoft

Ah yes, Microsoft's subtle propaganda equating open source with communism—because sharing code is clearly a gateway drug to full-blown Marxism. The irony is delicious considering Microsoft now claims to "❤️ open source" while historically viewing it as an existential threat. Nothing says capitalism like paying $7.5 billion for GitHub, the world's largest communist code repository. In Soviet Russia, code commits you!

The ultimate corporate irony. McAfee, the company that's supposed to protect your computer, managed to crash the entire world with a botched update in 2010. Then their CTO bounces to start CrowdStrike—which is now a cybersecurity giant worth billions. For those who don't know the backstory: that 2010 update misidentified a critical Windows file as malware and deleted it from thousands of computers worldwide. Corporate networks collapsed.

Just like Plants vs Zombies had us defending our lawn, VS Code has us defending our sanity while Microsoft slowly consumes our RAM. The irony? We willingly install 47 extensions to "optimize" our workflow while wondering why our laptops sound like they're preparing for liftoff.
