VS Code now has the agent mode, but if you have already moved on, there is no point in coming back.

Kids are very good at worrying about silly stuff.

They will grow out of it eventually. Most of them anyways.

I still run the Burn My Windows Gnome extension on all my desktops with a short "TV Effect" activated when a windows closes. It's just perfect!
