I wonder if this was explicitly added to avoid the oryx tool from running? 🤔

That is a dirty hack! No other way to do that?

My understanding is that using this instead of the default updateContentCommand means we can connect sooner, while we're installing dependencies, as opposed to waiting for dependencies to be installed.
That's mostly a moot point, given that we're using prebuilds but still seems valuable?

I don't see how it is valuable if we're using Codespaces prebuilds. Help me understand

Two thoughts:
- If prebuilds are broken or stale, it helps
- If folks are copying & pasting the devcontainer from these templates to use in their own projects, this is a reasonable default

Makes sense. What would you provide as a comment inline to explain the wait for an empty command?

How about: "Allow connecting earlier, while we're still installing dependencies"

Removed empty commands, and the nonsensical
waitFor.Annotated for readability
