Claude code and codex do this all the time too. Fucking annoying.
Well, that's good news for all the developers working at companies with delusional management proclaiming "100% of code will be written by AI in 6 months"!

Growth hacking at its best /s
I really hope the editor wars don't start again. I've been happily using VsCode for years now. More than happy in fact, it's one of the best pieces of software I've ever used, as evidenced by how AI companies basically started as a VsCode fork.
But this is going full-throttle on enshittification.
WTF happened at microsoft (github, openai partnership, copilot pricing) that all this shit just ramped up to a 11?
If you're angry about this then what are you going to do about it?
... they don't require code review by at least one other person before merging..?
If this is indicative of practices over at MS these days, it explains a lot.
