Ok that's cute, but hn guidelines say the the post title should match the published title. The flexibility is for necessary shortening or scrubbing clickbait, not for editorializing.
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Hey, Geoff from Gitpod here (and the person who was behind cake to GitHub Codespaces). Indeed it is exactly related to that. Always was a fan of the idea of cake being shipped between product teams and the launch of Codespaces was a perfect chance to start a new tradition!
I would be v.happy to send cake (or macaroons) to the VSCode team as well but don’t have contacts. If you are in the team lemme know.

#10i really like Gitpod as a company, but i'm wondering what's their survival plan as they're competing with Microsoft?
