But an attempt to build editors/vscode threw the following:

To successfully build vscode with poudriere(8), you must add the following
line to poudriere.conf:
MAX_FILES_vscode=8192
What the... I just want to build a package. Why do I care about poudriere
limitations, or poudriere at all? How can I just build a package. Users
(or Maintainers) aren't forced to use poudriere, are they?
The Makefile in editors/vscode has an error message including that text.
It always writes it, so it assumes it is being built in poudriere. If
that's not your case you can just ignore it. BUT, if you're building it
in a jail (which is similar to what poudriere does), you should check
your jail limits and make sure maxfiles is 8192 or higher.
That is just a warning to poudriere users.
BTW while poudriere is definitely not mandatory for users, for port
maintainers it is highly suggested: official packages are built using
poudriere, so ports must work in poudriere, and maintainers should also
verify and test that.
