Yeah - I think that's a cue pointing to you that your understanding of the project at hand may be lacking in some regard. I usually listen to that signal and learn the heck out of the current tooling whose config I see on the root before proceeding with the subdirectories.

That feeling of mild anxiety in not knowing why these files are there can be useful, is all I'm saying.

yeah or it's a cue that someone using VSCode created a JSConfig.json checked it in and it got pulled by the latest git pull.
