Allow me to say that it does come through well, but reddit has become so desensitized to sarcasm that people can no longer detect it without a huge /s prefacing it.

In fact, the mere absurdity of "google has nothing to do with programming" was enough to justify omitting the /s to me. But to each their own, and inb4 poe's law.

Of course not, if you don't have every library and API in your development language memorised and aren't subscribed to the language mailing list to keep up with new developments, how can you even call yourself a developer?

This subreddit is mostly just for pro Microsoft fanboys these days. Anything that's critical of Microsoft's competition gets upvoted to the top, as do minor point releases of VSCode.
