Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

We did catch it internally in testing (as we use VS Code for all our work, so some folks did stumble on it), but I think we underestimated the impact and should do a better job at that.

Either this is an outright lie or it's a sign of just how fucked this industry has gotten. There should be no way that anyone looked at this and decided it wasn't a big enough deal to block given that this is basically the single issue driving most of the industry's cultural discourse and a good chunk of the broader world's as well. If that's what happened then the people making those decisions are so thoroughly insulated from literally any feedback that the industry - to say nothing of the world at large - would be better served if they were replaced by a literal magic 8 ball.
