Not to quibble, but VSCode (and GitHub for that matter) are part of my tooling, not part of any of my stacks. To me the former is tolerable, the latter is not.

- corytheboyd 1y agoI think they are talking about products like Cursor.
- aranchelk 1y agoAh, that’s a painful situation.
- corytheboyd 1y agoEh MS wasn’t going to just let VSCode derivatives soak up all the AI gold rush money, these companies knew the risks. I wonder what it’s going to mean for projects like Zig, a migration of VSCode refugees could crank things up to 11 pretty quick.
- hansvm 1y agoHow do VSCode refugees impact a project like Zig?
- cstrahan 1y agoI would bet they meant the editor “Zed”.
- corytheboyd 1y agoShoot yeah I did haha
- degurechaff 1y agoZed don't have many extensions like VSCode.
- corytheboyd 1y agoI guess the point is that VSCode won because it collected critical mass (despite people practically chanting Microsoft’s “embrace, extend, extinguish” game plan). If a sort of exodus were to happen, perhaps that same critical mass would stoke the flames of mass plugin catch-up. I have no skin in the game, I’m just a guy in the internet back alley throwing down a couple bucks on a dice game.
- lakomen 1y agoI've been shafted by Github under MS ownership in the past, after 7 years. I'm using a gitea instance ever since. The only thing Github is good for is visibility/discoverability. Do not trust Microsoft ever. They will fuck you.
- sitkack 1y agoAt this point, GH is like Twitter, people are begrudgingly using it because it has the most visibility.
