I just moved to Zed (zed.dev). Has everything I need
Except extensions.
Browser extensions have been a great playground for me.
That's the reason I stopped installing random extensions and even themes in VS Code, they are too dangerous.

The only way I found out is because I run NixOS and it downloaded a dynamically linked binary that failed to start up and it spat out an error

This comment reminds me of a joke where the punchline is that a person is so poor that burglars break in to their house and leave money. Similarly, I could see ransomware groups hacking in and feeling bad for GH so they improve a few things to help them get to at leave nine fives of uptime.
Just in case you are not aware, a joke loses its fun factor if you explain it.
Are we going into 99.9% Uptime era? With this level of availability, would company remain on cloud?

Do that automatically for all code downloaded from the web and run outside a sandbox.
Maybe won't catch everything, but should catch most evil stuff, especially if a variety of models and prompts are used.

in my org, devs don’t have access to customer data directly, and sysadmins don’t have access to modify code. It’s a simple rule from a simpler time, to limit the risk of total compromise.
Repos should not contain customer data.

How hard would it be to have one installation step to be to have Claude read through all the code to the extension and strip out anything that looks risky (ie. Calls out to external servers).?

It's certainly not the right platform. It'd be one thing if they had any official communication on the matter anywhere else. Maybe they're ashamed and are trying to limit the visibility while only technically issuing an announcement. They announced this exclusively on X.com, which ranks barely above Pinterest in terms of usage. That's below Reddit, Snapchat, WeChat, and Instagram, and requires a user account to view…
Who the heck follows Github on Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, WeChat? Wherever they posted, there’s at this time two articles on the Hacker News front page. Sounds like they have reached their audience.
