Maybe related to Firefox/Chrome cake history...

Hey, Geoff from Gitpod here (and the person who was behind cake to GitHub Codespaces). Indeed it is exactly related to that. Always was a fan of the idea of cake being shipped between product teams and the launch of Codespaces was a perfect chance to start a new tradition!

I would be v.happy to send cake (or macaroons) to the VSCode team as well but don’t have contacts. If you are in the team lemme know.

Like others mentioned, this story seems to be reference to Gitpod sending GitHub a launch cake for Codespaces.
