Disabling go modules in Visual Studio Code

I couldn’t find a good answer to this question and I looked for hours. Ultimately, I decided to document it here for the next time I need it and for anyone else out there who’s looking to disable go modules in in Visual Studio Code.

Well that’s all there was to it! I’m now able to use VSCode for all my editing needs.
