While You Were Arguing, Microsoft Was Building

The ultimate programmer dad joke! Even after getting glasses and spending hours learning C#, you still can't physically "see sharp." The language might be powerful, but it won't fix your prescription. Next time your code review fails, just blame your optometrist instead of your syntax.

Trust issues taken to a whole new level! VS Code's Git integration has the audacity to question if you trust yourself when opening your own project.

But hey, at least some React dev got to pad their resume!
