Visual Studio Code’s “Code Helper” is currently spawning so many copies of `rg` that I can’t even invoke `ps aux | grep rg` to count how many copies it has spawned.
This is fine.

@phildini I haven’t done anything consciously. I *do* have a lot of VSCode windows open… but that’s not a recent change - I have a lot of projects on the go at once. I don’t even know how to go about diagnosing this, other than “take off, nuke it all from orbit, and hope it doesn’t happen again” (except that it seems to have happened twice in the last week…)
My guess is that it’s trying to index the contents of `build` folders… but that’s a SWAG.
@freakboy3742 @phildini man I did not expect 2026 to be the year I fully embraced feeling good about using Emacs forever but Events keep Transpiring
@glyph @freakboy3742 I desperately wish I could make myself get used to terminal-based IDEs, but I just don't seem to have it
@phildini @freakboy3742 which terminal-based IDE are you thinking of
@freakboy3742 how the!?! what were you trying to do before this?
