Which will be violently yeeted away by compiler optimisation

I’m all for using vim or Emacs or whatever, and I agree that not having a dependency on a specific editing software is a great thing.

But since when did using VSCode enforce the decision on other members of the team? VSC is just going to integrate it’s features with whatever build system you are using. It doesn’t enforce any particular build tool in any project. You can use NPM, yarn. PNPM, whatever the fuck else lol… Nobody needs to maintain multiple build systems to support VSC because it is also just a text editor, albeit a bloated one. Yes, if you install all the fancy extensions to integrate VSCode with your project, it will be a heavy app, and that’s a problem. But if you want your barebones editor, just don’t install any extensions? I’ve been in projects where I’ll be using VSC while someone else will be using Vim and that one dude will be using webstorm or something. It works. There is no Microsoft^TM build tool lockdown going on.

I know vim is still far less resource intensive than code but outside of very specific use cases, I’ve never seen any modern computer struggle with running code, especially without the extensions… It’s equivalent to opening an extra chrome window, I’m sure most computers can handle that lol.

End of the day the best tool is whatever lets you personally write code faster, and for some of us that happens to be VS Code

Man when I first realised that Relay for Reddit is still working, I legit thought that Reddit’s strategy was to just scare people into shutting down third party apps without wasting a dime on actually upgrading their API lol

Meanwhile half the subs have gone into protest mode in all sorts of ways… My favorite is r/madlads who gave all users mod privileges, in true madlads fashion

Edit: can you link to a resource explaining the custom patching thing? Sounds interesting, might try it out
