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.
