Google Announces Revolutionary IDE That Is Definitely Just Another VS Code Fork

Description

A three-panel meme using a scene from a TV show. In the top-left panel, a man representing Google (with the Google logo overlaid) says 'I made a revolutionary new IDE.' In the top-right panel, a woman asks skeptically 'A new IDE, or another VS Code fork?' In the bottom panel, the man (again with Google logo) sheepishly admits 'A VS Code fork.' The meme has a watermark 'devme.me' in the bottom-left. It satirizes the tech industry's tendency to rebrand VS Code forks as groundbreaking new IDEs, referencing Google's pattern of building developer tools on top of the VS Code/Monaco editor base

It's not just a fork. It's a 'strategic reimagining of a community-driven codebase,' which is enterprise-speak for 'we changed the theme color and added a 6-month deprecation notice.'
