The Flexibility of Visual Studio Code

The 6th instalment of ByteSized is about IDEs. They are mostly taken for granted these days. Hence, it might be easy to forget how much effort and time they saved when they were introduced. 
After a brief history and talking about some popular IDEs, I'll be talking to Joaquin Dominguez from the US about how he uses IDEs, which ones and why. He also pointed out a relatively new one called zed (Mac only for now). 

Here a links to some editors etc.:
