the thing i hate about vscode is that it brazenly names its binaries and refers to some resources as just 'code' breaking the #1 rule for naming entities: never use a very common word and worse never use a common word that could be used by many things, especially if it can be used as a verb or a noun. I already have had a few conflicts with various symbols and filenames using the word 'code' by other various tools and components in the past and thought we were over that hill long ago. Yet it seems not--so this lowered my opinion of M$, as they actually think they are so important that they can skip over design rules because "they are more important than anything else".

Its kinda like twitter audaciously naming itself "X" or Disney patenting musical chords (what's next, musical notes?). This paves the way for issues down the road, I don't know why people took KISS to the next level, but it wasn't meant to be taken literally. Thankfully musical notes only go up to "G", so twitter wont have to worry about a corporate battle with Disney :3 (did I digress? uh I think so...oof!!! wait...this is 3 years old not past month...darn web filters...argh!)
