They can still connect via VS Code Desktop using coder CI over SSH 1. Run coder login and coder config-ssh 2. Connect to a remote host in VSCode will show the workspaces they own, Or if they install the vscode-coder extension and login. SO removing the button is not a very safe way to prevent conecting via VSCode
