⚙️ VS Code started as a 10-person team building an editor. Ten years later, it’s used by millions of developers, supports 90K+ extensions, and has become a foundation many AI tools build on. In this behind-the-scenes conversation with Codacy, we talk about the early pivots between web and desktop, the bet on open source, why performance and core editing still matter as much as AI, and how agents are starting to shape what comes next. 📖 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/d-Dx6XnC
