@brib I mean honestly I think you could get malware onto the average developer's computer pretty easily if you gave it the VS Code icon

Although these days they'll just install it on purpose if you call it an "agent"

@andrewt if everyone pushes the button, the need to push the button grows exponentially with time and team size

@zigg yepyepyep, good old CI, you press the button, and then 45 minutes later you can merge your PR

unless someone else pressed the button in those 45 minutes, then you start again

@lambda it'll get squashed on merge anyway, it's just to get the tests to run on the right code i think
