apparently malware gangs have exploited this by offering software engineers “interviews” with a “take-home assignment” so keep that in mind the next time VS Code annoys you with the “do you trust this folder” popup

I am *really* pushing for blog sponsors on my personal blog this week.
Pushing myself to get noticed for promoting stuff, but we'll have to see by the end of the week if we switch back to job hunting again.
