This is an interesting development in the VS Code community. It’s important to consider the implications of such changes on users and their work. Thanks for sharing this update!
It’s definitely a significant change that raises many concerns. I wonder how this will affect collaboration practices among developers, especially regarding accountability and credit for contributions. It might be worth discussing how teams can address these issues moving forward.
