Microsoft has a fork of VS Code called Azure Data Studio. It's made for DB queries and notebooks: https://github.com/Microsoft/azuredatastudio

> Microsoft has a fork of VS Code called Azure Data Studio It's pretty buggy, and they haven't made much progress on fixing the bugs. I've used it pretty much since it came out - I do Microsoft SQL Server & Postgres work on my Mac - and the thousands of open issues on a relatively new product say something: https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues

I've also had queries (usually really large ones) run without issue in SSMS but crash Azure Data Studio. The only advantages that Azure Data Studio really has over SSMS is that it's a lot snappier (unless you're working with really large queries) and it has a dark mode. Other than that SSMS seems better in just about every way still.

Kind of hard to imagine a VS Code sibling for the whole data centric eco system. Maybe something like a base platform with multiple extension points for different tasks and the ability for others to extend the platform? (so like extensions in VS Code)

The title should probably reflect that this is specifically for managing NLP labeling tasks. It looks like a great project! Years ago I bought a book on data prep and labeling for NLP, and based on that book this project looks like it covers the main workflows you would need.

Hey Mark, I totally agree. We're focusing on NLP, but we're generally interested in what programming will develop into.

To exaggerate a bit, but I like that idea: With "regular programming" (not the best term, but I mean rule-based systems etc.), you used to develop via punch cards. You had to think multiple times before "compiling" something, right? I believe that we're currently in that phase regarding supervised learning development. If you have a labeling project, you need to plan this long in advance, ...

We're in love with VS Code, but we're missing something like this for AI. Our application tries to show how developers can program their training data, i.e. refine raw data into training data, and do so with many programmatic approaches. We're trying to show how something like this could look like (hence the title), and do so in NLP.

But again - I agree with you :)

I think so too. Mostly that it is something open. I also believe that it will change the workflow a bit, and that DVC will play a major role in it for versioning your different data hypotheses. Let's see, exciting times ahead!

This actually seems like a major leap forward in a really underloved space. Congratulations on your release. If anyone is remotely interested in data-labelling/exploration, I would definitely recommend checking this out, it has some really exciting features, for example, built-in zero shot classification for heuristics/baselines: https://docs.kern.ai/docs/building-zero-shot-classifiers I'm also really impressed with…

Thanks, means the world!
