Idempotent code/repositories are great - I love making everything as reproducible as possible. Particularly in make where every 'all' type command should have a corresponding 'clean' command.

Anyone willing to upvote this VSCode issue with me to add it to the backlog? (github.com)
 

If this issue gets 20 upvotes, the bot says it'll get added to the backlog to get fixed. Just posting it here to help it get some traction. We have ~40 days before it's simply closed.

Last month I posted this issue to the VSCode github about a bug where new instances of VSCode launched from a windows terminal fail to inherit the environment if VSCode is already running. I have to use Windows where I work and I often need different environments when working on different projects so I'd really like this issue to get fixed.
