Build Everything In Chromium
Description
A night street-photo meme shows a shirtless person waving a flag with the Chromium logo, while a Microsoft four-color logo is pasted onto their torso. Large white text across the image reads, "BUILD EVERYTHING IN CHROMIUM," and the sibling post caption frames it as "Microsoft Execs after the success of VS Code." The joke points at Microsoft's embrace of Chromium-based technology after VS Code's Electron success and the later normalization of browser-engine-powered desktop apps. It lands for developers as both tooling praise and a jab at the industry habit of packaging every application as a browser with ambitions.
