Okay, what’s your point?

That was a great one-sentence reality check.

I strongly doubt this API is external.

Not just visual studio. There are definitely _tons_ of users who moved from Atom, Sublime, Brackets, or even Emacs/Vim to VS Code. I know all of the above.

Don’t know any VS users other than former professor, and he definitely hasn’t switched to VS Code.

Completely agreed. Libspotify/libcspotify was one of the most promising parts of Spotify’s API, and it was left to die in a hole, with promises of revival, but no actual intent.

I haven’t read the source code, but I assume that it just looks at the timings of the request. After all, it’s just one user, no need to worry about 50 concurrent requests.

True, but very different. That’s not the highly-targeted, audience-segmented approach to advertising that parent commenter (and most people on the internet) is referring to by saying “ads”.

Not to be pessimistic, but you’ve been hoodwinked if you think this is a “personal site” without financial incentive.

This looks like just the type of website that people make to cash out with referral codes to amazon (or in this case, banggood).

That’s not a bad way of phrasing it

Angular has been out for much longer than 2 years. I remember using Angular 2 in 2016.

Wow. Now _that_ really puts the cost of non-enterprise cloud computing into perspective. That doesn’t sound bad.
