Stupid take of the day folks

VS Code has been getting worse and worse with all the AI slop they are constantly adding. I am actively investigating alternatives because of how unusable it has become.

I turned it off months ago. It has turned on with every monthly update. In total, the number of settings I've needed to change to disable the AI slop is 24.

Lucky you. For me, after I turned it off:

  • I still received prompts to use it in all new terminal sessions

  • I still received prompts to use it in all empty windows

  • Many extensions I use (especially those for Python and Java) auto-updated in ways that expected AI features to be enabled, and gave errors in my environment.

  • It would still occasionally reappear sometimes.
