No, they're not.

The former is saying that VSCode is a privacy nightmare, which is true. The latter is saying if you think VSCode is a privacy nightmare, nobody will hire you, which is false.

Actually, the latter is not even that - it's just an insult: "I can't imagine wanting to hire or even work with someone that said this with even a remotely straight face".
