I have been doing some ad-hoc fixes for one of our Java projects.

Unfortunately, I did not recognize the offer to install the language server from Microsoft as a malware injection.

Until I removed it, I barely could type, it suggested something, did something, prevented me from doing something. It’s like a pesky client constantly advising a taxi driver.

Yes, Java sucks in its essence, but with language server integration it’s next to impossible to handle at all.
