This New VS Code Update

VSCode asking "Do you trust the authors of the files in this folder?" when you literally just opened your own project is peak security theater. Like yeah, I wrote this code yesterday, but sure, let me formally declare my trust in... myself? The Obi-Wan meme nails it perfectly – "Well, of course I trust him. He's me."

Microsoft added this "workspace trust" feature to protect you from malicious code that might auto-execute. Noble intention, terrible execution. Now every time you clone your own repo or open a folder, you're interrogated like you're downloading sketchy npm packages from a guy named xXx_hacker_2003_xXx.

Pro tip: most of us just blindly click "Yes, I trust the authors" faster than we accept cookie policies, completely defeating the purpose. Security features only work if they don't annoy people into submission.
