    I can forgive not knowing github is MS.

    but, how in the actual fuck did you not know VS Code is MS?

    do you just close your eyes and code blind all day long?

        Ding ding ding ding ding!

        Like, just BRAND NEW, leaning baby programmer!

        Nope, not that. Haven’t earned the name ‘programmer’ at all.

        Just a guy who is starting to learn and is probably going to abandon learning but is going to try anyway and is trying not to fuck up in the beginning! Guy.

        Plus I’m 63. So learning anything at all is like nailing boards to sand.

        Maybe I learned it, but that was last week. Can’t expect me to remember last week shit.

          If you want to use VSCode without the Microsoft bits, they actually provide that officially. VSCodium is VSCode with all the Microsoft-specific bits stripped out (or rather, not added in in the first place, at compile time). It’s all open source too so you can either verify yourself or have a knowledgeable friend do an audit on your behalf.

          I use VSCode at work a lot and enjoy it quite a bit. A good alternative would be to use Kate/Kwrite with all of the coding plugins and the linter plugins turned on, the experience is pretty close to VSCode/ium without store extensions.

          Keep learning and asking questions! Maybe programming isn’t something for you or maybe it’ll be a big part of your life. You’ll never know without giving it a try.

          Please don’t get discouraged by the curmudgeons. Not all of us experienced in the field have given into grouchiness.
