That seems pretty elaborate just to maintain two different environments.

Doesn't VSCodium have something like browser profiles, where you can customize all kinds of things only in that profile? I use this in Firefox all the time, windows looks different etc.

I'm not sure if VS Codium has profiles like that, but Nix can be used to create them. There is support for configuring an installation of VS Code in the Nix language and using it as a package.

They recently added profiles in VSCode for this very use case. I have a bunch of them configured for different tech stacks (they only differ by extensions)

Yeah, I've been meaning to take a look at these. They didn't exist solidly when I played with my hacky solution.
