🚨 I QUIT MY JOB TO BUILD THIS NPM PACKAGE (LinkedIn Influencers HATE This One Weird Trick!) 🚨

Day 1: My manager said "We need better VS Code integration"
Day 347: I've created a Node.js client that nobody asked for but EVERYONE needs 💪

What they said: "This will never work"
What I did: Published it anyway and it got 3 downloads (my mom, my cat, and me) 📈

💼 THE ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY NOBODY TALKS ABOUT

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Most developers don't know how to connect to Claude Code's VS Code bridge programmatically. I spent 6 months in my garage (okay, it was my kitchen table) building this game-changing solution.

Here's what I learned:

• 🧠 WebSocket connections aren't just for chat apps
• 🔥 JSON-RPC is the secret sauce of the future
• 💡 Sometimes the best solutions come from the worst naming decisions
• 🚀 Imposter syndrome is just excellence in disguise

The result? A confusingly-named package that LITERALLY transforms how you interact with VS Code.

🎯 IF YOU'RE NOT AUTOMATING YOUR VS CODE, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

CONTROVERSIAL TAKE: Clicking buttons in 2024 is for amateurs.

This package gives you:

• ✨ Auto-discovery of Claude Code instances (because manual is so 2010)
• 🔐 WebSocket authentication (security is sexy)
• 🔄 Automatic reconnection (never give up, never surrender)
• 🛠️ Programmatic VS Code control (be the puppet master)
• 💻 Interactive shell interface (feel like a Hollywood hacker)

CEO of a Fortune 500 company told me: "This changes everything"
(okay, it was my neighbor's kid, but he's probably going places)

💡 THE MINDSET SHIFT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

OLD THINKING: "I should probably document this properly"
NEW THINKING: "The code IS the documentation" 🧠

OLD THINKING: "Maybe I should test this thoroughly"
NEW THINKING: "Production IS the testing environment" 🚀

OLD THINKING: "This name is confusing"
NEW THINKING: "Confusion breeds curiosity, curiosity breeds engagement" 📈

🚀 JOIN THE REVOLUTION

Requirements:

• Node.js >= 14.0.0 (because we're not animals)

📢 SPREAD THE WORD

If this package changed your life (or mildly inconvenienced you), SMASH that star button ⭐
Share this with 3 developers who need to see this
Tag someone who's still clicking buttons manually

Remember: Today you, tomorrow me. 🤝

🎯 THE BOTTOM LINE

HARD TRUTH: Most developers will scroll past this.
HARDER TRUTH: The ones who don't will 10x their VS Code game.
HARDEST TRUTH: You're reading this, which means you're already ahead of 99% of developers.

Don't just work harder. Work smarter. Work with questionable npm packages.

Built with ❤️, excessive confidence, and LinkedIn post energy
