    In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.

      Can you choose to use VSCodium instead? It’s practically identical, but isn’t controlled by MS.

        The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!
