I found this out the hard way as some servers had a high cpu load and a weird agent that i did not install. After having a heart attack and assuming an intruder i discovered vscode had injected some agent that was stuck walking the servers filesystem and consumed 100% cpu on one core. On the one hand i love how having a server open in vscode feels especially as things like the docker extension work pretty well but on the other hand i really wonder if it requires these nightmarish sacrifices.
