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. 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.
Features
- Automatically detects failed terminal commands (non-zero exit codes)
- Plays a sound so you can't just pretend it didn't happen
- Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Configurable volume (because sometimes you need it loud, sometimes your manager is behind you)
- Toggle it on/off without uninstalling (for the faint of heart)
Installation
- Install from the VS Code Marketplace
- That's it. There is no step 2. Go break something.

FAQ
Q: Can I use my own sound?
A: Replace sounds/error.mp3 in the extension directory with your own MP3. Want your mom's voice? A sad trombone? The Windows XP shutdown sound? Go wild.
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".
