Just wait until you see how many bugs VS Code has!

  I love VS Code, but I occasionally wonder; should we be amazed over its resilience or in awe that it actually works? I can't decide. also, every time I think about the amount of CPU cycles that has to be executed just for the first pixel to appear on the screen, just, wow. what a time to be alive!

    People used to think that Emacs was bloated. Like: 'Eight Megabytes (of RAM) And Constantly Swapping', back when 8 MiB was big.

      That was back when 8MB was not just big, but so huge that your University’s Computer Science department couldn’t afford it.

  ~half of that https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3A... but we all know number of bugs reported is not a very useful metric (dups, weird non reproducible configurations, not confirmed bugs, etc...) besides: VS Code team is very good, we should hope that every software project was developed the same way.

  The amazing thing about that repo is not the amount of open bugs (1700) but the amount of closed ones (24k).
