Didn't know that. Now, that's interesting.

Using Eclipse as "the Java LSP" in VSCode makes more sense now.

Nevertheless, as much as I respect Erich for what he did for Eclipse, I won't be able to follow him to VSCode, since I don't respect Microsoft as much.

So not also using Github, LinkedIn, TypeScript (any FE framework that uses it), any Microsoft owned studios games, no Linux kernel contributions, GHC contributions,....

It is kid of hard to avoid nowadays.

Here a session with him related to VSCode history,

"The Story of Visual Studio Code with Erich Gamma and Kai Maetzel"

		My personal code doesn't get uploaded to GitHub anymore, and I open my LinkedIn twice a year or so. I don't do Web Development, I live in the trenches. Since I don't own a desktop system anymore, I don't honestly game. I'm exposed to them via systemd and Linux Kernel, yes, but at least both are licensed with GPL. At least I'm trying to minimize my exposure. For more context, please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44634786 Thanks for the video, btw. I'll take a look the moment I have time.
