Once they have all the coding sessions recorded they can finally replace those pesky devs /jk. But seriously, is there anything in the conditions about ability to record coding sessions of say open source devs?

#202Earlier quoted context omitted.
While VS Code is definitely good in general, and first choice for languages like JavaScript, I find it really hard to compare it to JetBrains PyCharm and GoLand (understanding GoLand has no free version). The debugging and refactoring experiences for Go and Python in VSCode feel slow, awkward to set up and configure and just generally tacked-on. I have gotten the PyCharm professional and GoLand licensed through my em…
I've found I love JetBrains IDEs when I'm operating as a one-language power-user. But the last few years I find myself needing to use 2-3 languages in the same day (several more if you include markup "languages"). VSCode has become my editor of choice for local dev and vim for remote dev/debug.
This is exactly my current situation. In one day I can end up writing in up to 4 languages (Go, Python, C, C++) and having one editor, with one set of settings for editing, and all the customization available in a single settings.json file, is just too good to give up for language-specific IDE's, especially ones that require yearly subscriptions.

> Gitpod looked nice but the fact that you can only customize the editor per-repository doesn't make sense to me. Gitpod also has user-specific Preferences, and even user-specific VS Code extensions. (Usually customization places have a "Workspace" tab and a "User" tab.)
I just added my user settings and my custom theme via .vsix and everything seems to have worked fine. Not sure how I missed this, thanks Jan!
Hey, that's awesome! Thanks for the update.
Re: GitHub Codespaces
#204Can someone explain how 'build' is done with the obvious targetting of platforms and build configs etc? Does the build happen locally? On a rented server? Serverless?
Re: GitHub Codespaces
#205Microsoft is really the best at the slow strategic burn. * You host your project in github * You fund your project using github sponsors * You develop your project using github codespaces * You compile, test and deploy using github actions * You cloud host on azure Each individual feature is definitely great. I'm not trying to be critical of Microsoft trying to turn their investment in github into a profitable busine…
As someone how really like github and really dislikes azure devops - and a corporate direction pushing us from the former to the later - any idea what their endgame is as these two converge?
Re: GitHub Codespaces
#206This is pretty epic. VS Code has proven itself to be one of the best (if not the best) and feature-complete editor out there. It's basically an IDE of a ton of languages at this point, and it's completely free. Integrating it with GH is a no-brainer move from Microsoft's standpoint, to increase market share even further with more seamless integration. If they're able to do setup for Python, Go, Ruby, and JavaScript p…
Free is a huge minus in my book. If I'm not the customer, then I'm the product. I'll happily keep paying for my JetBrains all-product license: https://www.jetbrains.com/all/

I'm not sure what you mean by this, care to expand? Aren't you also the product for JetBrains, since you're one of the customers that's keeping them afloat?

#207This feels like a step toward a contemporary "VB6" in the cloud.
Re: GitHub Codespaces
#208This is great. We all knew it was coming, but I wish they hadn't axed xray.
Has vscode performance improved in recent history? Are there any plans to replace hot code paths with Rust or wasm? Has modal editing improved? I'm not against using vscode, but even with codespaces it's a hard sell.

#209Does this work on iPad? I was under the impression this bug is blocking VSCode and other electron based apps. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149054
According to that bug, this issue has been resolved.

Do you avoid public drinking fountains? (Covid-19 aside)
Huh. Do you really not see any difference between a publicly funded accommodation and attempts to dominate a market by a company with a long history of abusing a monopoly?
