Can someone explain this joke to me?

Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.

The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.

I think that's all there is to the joke, unless I'm also missing something.

VSCode has shat out a shitty update too, reportedly freezing the editor several seconds at a time.
