Hawk Tuah VS Code rant

Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her based rant about VS Code’s not-so-open source nature. “It’s astonishing that people still think VS Code is fully open source when Microsoft is playing the oldest trick in the book,” she said, exasperated. “They release the base code under an open- source license, sure—but the moment you want real functionality like Python Language Servers or useful extensions, suddenly you're tied to their official, proprietary builds.” She added that “they even hide APIs for internal use only. It's a classic Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy, and people are falling for it like it’s 1999 all over again?”

A blonde woman identified as Hawk Tuah appears beside the Visual Studio Code logo, with a long caption criticizing Microsoft’s supposedly open-source editor. The joke combines the Hawk Tuah meme with a serious software licensing rant, making an exaggerated reaction to VS Code’s proprietary extensions and APIs. It is used when someone delivers an unexpectedly intense or overconfident technical critique.
