maakabhosadaaag
Your terminal messed up. Now it's personal.
A VS Code extension that plays a sound every time a command in your integrated terminal exits with a non-zero code. Choose from 74+ built-in meme and anime sound effects — or stick with the classic. Think of it as emotional damage for your shell.
You typo'd git psuh? Sound.
npm install failed for the 47th time? Sound.
You ran rm -rf / and somehow survived? ...Sound.
No judgement. Just accountability.

- Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

FAQ
Q: Can I use my own sound?
A: Not yet via settings, but you can replace any .mp3 file in the sounds/ folder inside the extension directory.
Q: Why is it called maakabhosadaaag?
A: Because that's what you say when your code doesn't work.
Q: Is this a joke extension?
A: The sound is a joke. The pain is real.
Q: It's too loud / too quiet.
A: Adjust maakabhosadaaag.volume in settings. On macOS, 0 is silence and 1 is "the whole office knows you messed up".
