    Obviously the more complex a web app grows the more vulnerable it becomes…

    One of the comments:

    Microsoft’s GitHub was compromised when a Microsoft developer using Microsoft VSCode installed a rogue extension from Microsoft’s VSCode extension library, which is moderated and hosted by Microsoft.

    I guess I’ll be reevaluating my life choices.

      As someone jokingly commented:

      Sure, I’m frustrated by the github outages too, but hacking into github to fix their code seems like a bit of an overreaction.

      Just use something simpler, like vim, and boycott JS outside of the browser. Also, obviously, no slop bots. Then you’re 95% safe.
