VS Code 1.107 — Now with Chatty Bastards and Background Chaos

So, Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code just dropped version 1.107, and holy flaming servers, they’re cramming in *even more* AI crap. Because what the hell else do developers need other than more chatty bits of code pretending to help you while eating your CPU alive? Apparently now we’ve got “integrated chat” baked right in, with some new “background agents” that run like unsupervised interns when you’re not looking. Brilliant! Nothing says *stable development environment* like bots buzzing in the background, quietly plotting to refactor your nightmares.

Oh, but it gets better — there’s an “Agent HQ” now, some glorified control room where you can orchestrate multiple assistant agents. Because clearly one AI whispering in your ear isn’t enough, we need a full bloody chorus. “Multi-agent orchestration,” they call it. I call it a bloody mess of digital peanuts fighting for control over your build tasks. You’ll have agents writing code, testing code, arguing with each other, and probably setting your configs on fire while you go for coffee.

There’s some other usual crap: performance tweaks, bug fixes, minor UI stuff — boring background noise drowned out by the Marketing Department screaming “AI AGENTS” like it’s the Second Coming. Oh, and these little bastards can now run persistently while you work on something else. So yeah, now they can screw up your workspace while you’re busy trying to fix the last thing they broke. Well done, Redmond. Slow clap.

Honestly, we’re one patch away from VS Code developing sentience and unionizing. But hey, as long as your editor can now talk to an army of background gremlins, I’m sure things will be fine. Totally fine. No reason to panic, unless your code starts committing itself to GitHub at 3 a.m.

Reminds me of the time some bright spark let an “automation script” manage our backup rotation. The poor bastard deleted *everything* from production because it “optimized disk space.” Same energy. Different decade.
