📝 New blog post: Securing VS Code extensions as an attack vector
The LiteLLM supply-chain compromise pushed me to audit my VS Code extensions, remove what I do not use, and replace a few utilities with my own pinned forks.

Qual o problema desses caras? Depois de anos acostumado com uma paleta de cores, o pessoal do #VSCode resolve trazer um novo tema padrão, que parece deslocado e com suporte limitado.
Tantas features que eles poderiam estar priorizando, resolveram trazer algo que só cria atrito com parcela significativa de seus usuários. Que desserviço!

The new VSCode light theme is a joke!
Before: good constrast, easy to spot the string interpolation.
After: even though my eyesight is pretty good, there’s just no way I can see that.
What the fuck!? Visual Studio Code currently reports issues in global Agent.md files I didn't create, request or use. I have Copilot disabled. And I cannot get rid of the reported issues without a) cleaning up their mess (edit & lock the files, because of course they get overwritten otherwise), or b) install extensions I'm not using, or c) disable displaying issues altogether.1
Shit like that makes me angry. Yeah, I know, I don't have to use VS Code. Usually I'd be the smug smartass telling people they should expect things like that if they rely on big tech.2
It's just, I'm getting more and more sick of "technology". Not because I don't like it per se, I'm a huge fucking nerd. But every fucking month it feels more dystopian to use the technology they're feeding us.
Overall it's not tragic, I know mistakes happen and another bug wouldn't provoke me that much. However our cursed savior, the "AI" doesn't seem to free capacity from writing boilerplate code to care more about the human issues and INCREASE THE FUCKING QUALITY, no, it's used to participate in an ever-accerelating race that no one really can win. As I see it right now, "thanks" to "AI" "we"'re moving much faster, although with declining quality and care. The industry is awestruck by the tremendous potantial that just got unlocked, and everyone writes blog posts how their workflow has fundamentally changed, and no one takes a fucking mintute to think about what we actually should be doing.

VS Code version 1.113 released
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is seeking security clearance to receive briefings on foreign interference in her province, but the leader of the Opposition says she shouldn’t be trusted with it. The premier told the Legislative Assembly of Alberta this week that she has started the process to get a higher security clearance so she can receive briefings from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). “I would like to know if there is any foreign interference happening in our province,” Smith said during question period Wednesday. (Opposition NDP Leader Naheed) Nenshi said he believes Smith should be disqualified from obtaining the clearance, citing what he called her lack of concern about the ongoing separation campaign in Alberta, and questions he has about the premier’s trip to Saudi Arabia last fall to meet with local government officials, which was taken on a private plane.
