Working on VS Code @ Microsoft. Standard views disclaimer.
There is a terminal allow list. But there is no “tools” allow list.

That's awesome! Let us know if there is anything you'd like to see us fix/improve.

And @anthonypjshaw.bsky.social actually did "vibe" a programming language last week at build so...

In case it's not obvious, this is satire. There is a custom instructions file that tells the model to respond with just that word.

Also - shoutout to custom instructions!

At the end of the day, I think we're going to get different tools here - probably something that orchestrates agents over strictly a "code editor".

Will AI replace developers? No, but I think it ushers us into a new phase of tools that look nothing like what we have today.

The more the agent does, the greater the chance you're going to regret it. You want it to do the "most least" amount of work possible.

Or said another way - the most it can do before it starts going off the rails. Figuring out where that line is can be hard. You end up throwing out a lot of code.

Vibe coding smaller tools or prototypes is some of the most fun you can have today as a developer. I built an MCP server without writing any code and it works _beautifully_.

But there's no auth, it's a single file. This is not the real world. github.com/burkeholland...

IMO the term is going to age poorly.

That said, I do it myself and I get _very_ good results. I've built at least 5 or 6 smaller projects and I'm using it now to build something quite complex.

Here's what I've learned...

Bro. I would pay GOOD money for this swag. TAKE MY MONEY!

Ty, Doug! Agents are remarkably powerful, but they need all of the context. We need better tools for this, so we stop spending 30 mins with an agent only to figure out we forgot an important detail and gotta start all over.

Thank you! I got that from @martin.social
