Yes, and now we are full circle: what is (allegedly) bananas is that using VSCode’s remote edit feature has the potentially surprising and unintuitive behavior of installing a VSCode agent on the target machine.

The assumption being made is VSCode is not running on the prod machine.

agree, but do you think every dev you know konws this?

also "i just want to edit a config file and i want a nice ui", is how you get there.
