Can you explain how this works? Doesn’t this also stop you from connecting to it over ssh via vs code?

  Sounds like a feature.

  Yes that's the point. If vscode didn't insist on installing potentially gigabytes of blobs then this wouldn't be necessary. (I'm a vimmer anyway... And emacs is too bloated to fit too, conveniently.)

    > And emacs is too bloated to fit too, conveniently. If you connect via ssh, you could use Tramp. It does not install emacs on the target, but instead use a somewhat permanent connection as a tunnel for most emacs commands (transparently). Works too with docker, podman, distrobox, etc,...

      yep, it's a shame vscode doesn't do something similar and instead copies a huge runtime (evidently, multiple times?!?) onto unsuspecting hosts.
