No worries! I'll poke around the convos and generally keep an eye out. Excited to see where it all goes!

*and good luck with the alpha launch!

Can someone explain what the long term road map / vision for @npmx.dev is? I saw this post saying there's a 10+ year vision for it, but haven't been able to find more info

Also super curious how the PDS work plays into this vision as well -- something I wouldn't expect from an alt NPM client

console.log("Hello, World!");

Follow for updates on every new release of @vscode.dev!

Oh super interesting! No I don’t believe anything like this is on our iteration plan right now, but I’ll keep this in mind when we plan for future iterations

Yeah! Worth mentioning for those who may not have seen:

The most recent @vscode.dev release shipped a preview for natively using third-party coding agents like Claude and Codex with the VS Code chat UI

Nice happy to hear that! Also "transcripts" like being able to copy the markdown from a chat thread and share it with someone?

*And have support for both Playwright MCP and Playwright Skill — which is my current preferred method for interacting with Chrome

We shipped an AskUserQuestion tool and the beginning of a more powerful built in browser yesterday! But curious what other features you’re hoping for?

Y'all are sleeping on VSCode's AI UX.

Their velocity here is wild, they keep building so many great features that improves the agent experience. I also think GitHub Copilot is fantastic, but if Claude Code is more your jam, you can use custom agents now within VSCode's chat, which is pretty cool.

You're welcome and the feelings are mutual!

Human written right now but generated release notes + a few other features is something I want to work on next

Curious though, what are you working on / what are the specific struggles you're hitting?

Got to watch IRL and it's easily one of my favorite talks / takes on AI-driven development I've seen so far

Rich (as always) wonderfully threads the needle of taking a critical look at this topic without being AI-pilled or anti-AI. He's nuanced, funny, and treats the topic with respect

And the app itself is nothing fancy. Just vanilla HTML, CSS, and TS + a little Vite to keep all together –– it's a really powerful lightweight combo

It's wild how much has changed in the last 100 days (literally) –– both in terms of LLMs and VS Code agent features.

@vscode.dev release notes are now generated with a tiny custom web app. Took 1 day to design and build.

I would have never considered even attempting this before.

Lol you got us. Fixed this release ;)

You told us you’re running multiple AI agents and wanted a better UX. We listened and shipped it!

Here’s what’s new:
🗂️ Unified agent sessions workspace for local, background, and cloud agents
🔀 Parallel subagents
💻 Claude and Codex support for local and cloud agents
🌐 Integrated browser
& more...

I’ve been finding myself able to spend time on the non-software parts of my life that I, historically, have never been able to while still getting “regular” stuff done (just quicker)

And lol being right around the corner from 30 also probably has nothing to do with this shift

I heavily relate. What I can accomplish and as a result where I want to spend my time has so dramatically changed in the last year.

For me: The things/projects that captured my attention for the last 5 years have completed shifted. I too want to work on higher impact / more ambitious things *and* …

Curious why you’re debating how much effort you wanna spend on this (Rue?)? Just a case of wanting to spend your time on other things or something more intrinsic to this space itself?

I think it’s an issue with the tools of creation.

The barrier to pick up a camera and tell a world class story does not require technical knowledge (it helps, but is not needed).

35 years later you still need technical knowledge to create world class things with computers.

Hacker News front page. "CSS Web Components for marketing sites" blog post is in the number one spot

And that's a first (first) for me 🍾

Lol cool, a year and some change later this blog post made it to HN front page today

Depending on how the winds of the future blow, a social filesystem could also be the foundation for an entirely new computing platform where your OS is portable / device agnostic

Like @rsms.me’s Playbit, but anyone could come along make a Playbit competitor and still access the same filesystem/data

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

Oop that looks pretty gnarly 😅 I’ll pass this onto the team. To double check it looks like this is Claude Code running in the built-in terminal (versus running via the Claude Code VSC extension)?

Oh interesting! Can you tell me more about the use case / desire for having the Q&A widget be configurable per prompt/skill?

Nice, thanks @danr.bsky.social!

@develwithoutacause.dwac.dev I’ll give this a closer look tomorrow or Monday and get back to ya 👍

Agreed! One of our designers is already working on it right now 🙂

You may have noticed that search on the VS Code website has gotten a lot quicker lately.
