Claude Code usually with the VS Code extension, but sometimes just the CLI. Also often use Gemini CLI for reviews of complex plans.

I'll definitely look there when/if I see them tomorrow. I had switched back because of folding (didn't realize how much I used it until it was gone), but seeing that you closed that I'll switch to tsgo again.

Most of what I work on (GitLens) is open source.

Can do this with Node and Deno too. Having the LSP be in node is great for running it on the web though

How best to report one-off issues? I'm on Windows too and get a lot of random notifications about different failures but not sure what causes them and they come and go.

Is there a log or something that would help?

In my mind "vibe coded" is if you don't care about or are never going to look at the code.

Would also love a related Object.hasKeys() so you can avoid a full iteration of the keys to get the count. Since I've rarely actually wanted the count, but wanted to know if there were any keys often.

GitLens hit a milestone that shows what happens when you solve real problems for developers.

We started with a simple idea: make Git history visual, intuitive, and actually useful inside VS Code. Eight years later, developers have spoken.

Thanks for trusting us with your Git workflow. 🙌

I’d like to take the moderate path, because I’m a history major and I know what the alternatives are.

Ugh, open source strikes again. Really sorry to see this but also not surprised. While I love open source, it really is "all take, no give" as you said.

Yeah uses a mix of GitHub (and Azure for Azure repos) apis and local storage downloads of the tar of the tip of the repo to provide fast code search.

Visual Studio Code for the Web Build with Visual Studio Code, anywhere, anytime, entirely in your browser.

Glad you like it. I'm still thrilled that I was able to make that happen while I was on the vscode team. It also is what powers vscode.dev and github.dev.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

@pnpm.io Is there any way to use `minimumReleaseAge` but have it exclude direct dependencies (if they are targeting a specific version)? I often want to pick a specific dependency in my `package.json`, but still have `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` still enforced for all the indirect deps.

And if you use vscode or forks, GitLens makes working with worktrees much easier.

Worktrees are the way.

Same. It sucks. For me it seemed to really start when I started with tinnitus.
