Super no thanks. There's too much risk in this work for bloaty, spying type code to land in the editor because of this.

I'm sure the team at Microsoft is super talented, but this seems like an awful product direction.

PM at Microsoft. Thanks for the feedback - we're thinking hard about ways to ensure that the changes that land in your code is only that which you expect. Are there specific features that you'd need before you'd be comfortable using something like this?

Ah, a wonderful response. That’s for keeping your ears open on what customers actually want.

Strong second. I love visual studio, and visual studio code, but this particular feature would be extremely irritating. I'd also worry that it would promote awful development models like Pivotal's pair programming take on agile, which has always struck me as creepy and totalitarian.

But if you don't want to you don't enable it. You need to actively enable this feature in order for it to generate link with your code.

I don't see the problem there.
