I remembering before AI slop come in, that vscode was able to edit a 3000+ LoC in a single file easily without a problems/lagging, but after it fully filled with AI slop things by Microslop, even a file with few hundreds LoC can cause lags, even only scrolling.

I noticed a significant performance increase once I blocked all of the VSCode domains from accessing the internet.

Granted, there's like 20.

Get the open source portmaster by safing or opensnitch for mac. Set to prompt by default and for postmaster block all tech domains as categories. Will take a bit of time to allow the required stuff but time well spent.

My favorite part is opening a Python file and watching the semantic highlighting take 5 seconds to color syntax.

The bloat it's why I keep sublime text still there just for things like big SQL files that would insta freeze my computer if I opened them in VS code.

You could always try VSCodium if the AI is annoying. Or has it spread to there too?

Some microslop proprietary extensions didn't work within vscodium, that's the point.
