It's time to conduct code interviews directly through VSCode

Code interviews are hard enough already. The last thing we need to do is make them harder by providing IDE's that do not work.

I just attempted a coding interview. The question was extremely easy. However, I was not able to submit a passing test because of an IDE specific bug that kept throwing errors. Pasting the same code into VSCode worked perfectly fine.

We need to stop trying to make 1000 different online IDE's, each with their own specific quirks and learning curve, and instead build a centralized VSCode extension that allows for the tests to be conducted in an environment that the participant is familiar with.

Some might argue the need to track time, copy/paste, upload to a remote server to avoid cheating and for verification. Based on the fact there are VSCode extensions that already track time, others that monitor input, others that upload to remote servers, this is definitely something that could be accomplished.
