I’m pretty sure there is an policy on their internal wiki saying you shouldn’t do that. Problem is: most employees don’t care to read these. Although I’m sure something like this could have been checked for during commit.
Am I blind or did they never say which extension that was?
I ditched VSCode for Sublime Text long back and don't feel missing anything. If any, my productivity and control over things has only improved.
Why does a company in GitHub's place allow employees to install random VSCode extensions?! That seems grossly irresponsible.
The dreaded "process" to get a single tool registered, working and allowed, is the reason a company is slow, dysfunctional and usually failing at a task.
The security tax and speeding tickets on everything are a luxury destroying much value.

The security model, or almost lack of any whatsoever in VSCode drove me to only install MSFT extensions, then use Code Server in a docker container, but I decided I didn’t like using my editor in a browser. Finally I have decided to start using Zed, which isn’t perfect on the security front, but much better IMHO. The combination of WASM extensions, and the ability to put language servers, etc, in dev-containers seems…
I'm guessing you're referring to https://coder.com/docs/code-server ?
