Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have a source for that claim? I for my part barely know anyone using vscode

https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-... 50.7% VS Code 31.5% Visual Studio 30.5% Notepad++

This highlights a very specific cross-section of the programming community that isn’t necessarily representative. Users of minority programming languages and tools such as editors are going to be significantly underrepresented due to network effects.

The results very well follow the “developer evangelist”/cargo-culting and “underpaid enterprise code monkey” groups, however.

https://triplebyte.com/blog/editor-report-the-rise-of-visual... (disclosure: written by my coworker) "Over the past year, VS Code usage has gone from 5% to 22%."

According to “Interview Pass Rates,” it looks like there needs to be an Emacs proficiency test as part of preliminary interviewing, because Emacs users are the most likely (by far) to pass interviews!

(The article is probably right that most Emacs users are more experienced, better programmers than users of other editors, because there’s practically no bandwagon to hop onto)

Is this is a potential replacement for Screenhero[1] (pair programming tool that was acquired and shut down by Slack)? If so, I'm very, very interested. I've been really surprised that nothing has jumped in to fill that niche, Slack included, so looking forward to seeing this come out of closed beta. [1]: https://screenhero.com/

Interestingly, Tuple[0] is a competitor to this site and directly references Screenhero. The creator, Ben Orenstein, is a podcast host on the Art of Product Podcast[1] along with Derick Reimer who created Drip.

I think the rules say sign-up pages like this can't be Show HN's.

Correct per https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html:

> Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

I was looking forward to giving it a try but was stopped at a signup page. Apparently it is not ready yet.
