The OCTO DevEx team reaaaaaallly loves VS Code — beyond the editor, it's just a great surface for experimental developer tooling!

GitHub Codespaces aren't generally available yet, but being able to target both "native" VS Code as well as in-browser VS Code with the same extension is super powerful. Expect a lot more from us on that front.

We've also released a pair of little projects re VS Code development that we've extracted from our work:

https://github.com/githubocto/tailwind-vscode: a Tailwind CSS plugin which creates Tailwind color tokens for each of the VS Code theme colors, easing theme-native styling in VS Code.

https://github.com/githubocto/snowpack-vscode-extension-temp...: a VS Code extension template that incorporates the fastest toolchain with the wisdom we've accumulated about webview development.

Makes sense, since vscode was originally a clone of github's editor atom ;) Which they are still maintaining, to their credit
Honestly, I wish I was able to get into the Codespace Preview so I could play around with a lot the experimental features it offers - Especially the tie in with Docker Desktop Dev Environments, my whole development workflow is likely going to change drastically this year.
Can you help me get a Codespaces invite? ;)
Yes.
