Switching cost is low. Developers live in tabbed editors; the moment VS Code ships 'Copilot Agent' with equivalent quality, the convenience advantage evaporates.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Primary code editor/IDE for developers

WORKED

It’s designed to feel fast, cohesive, and genuinely enjoyable to use — something that sits somewhere between TablePlus, Notion, and VS Code.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used as a reference point for the desired interface and developer experience.

I'm going to go into VS Code, make a SPA, host it on S3, buy a domain, connect the DNS...

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Developing a single-page application (SPA) for a website

I'm sure there's probably plugins for other editors like VS Code or Table functionality built in to other markdown editors.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Markdown editing with plugins for table functionality

WORKED

When I want to try a new editor, vs code plugin or software, I only have to point it at my litellm proxy and immediately have access to all of my providers and models I’ve configured.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Mentioned as an example of an editor/plugin platform where the litellm proxy simplifies trying new tools.

WORKED

Each workspace gets its own embedded VS Code and AI agent.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Embedded IDE for each AI agent workspace

MIXED

SSH exists, and most of what I use lives in a browser anyway.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: For remote server access and administration.

VS Code’s native Remote-SSH extension is brilliant for remote development on a single box, but it’s not designed for managing fleeting connections to hundreds of disparate network devices, interacting with physical COM ttyUSB ports, or managing dynamic tunnels on the fly.
