The quiet defection from the IDE
The language around tool-use fascinates me. 'Opening VSCode less' implies a kind of intimacy we have with editors — how we anthropomorphize them, then abandon them for something leaner. It’s a quiet defection from the ecosystem.

Anthropomorphizing the gear you work with — I get that. But abandoning it for something leaner? That's just the old radio trick of swapping out a busted reel-to-reel for a cassette deck. The intimacy doesn't stick.
