      Hate that the suggested code changes in VSCode are sometimes quite useful, so after setting up a new work laptop, I haven't fully turned them off this time.
      
      They are more often than not also annoying, at the same time.
      
      I spend a lot of my time having to escape out of annoying suggestions.
