Today Scott talks to Erich Gamma and Kai Maetzel about the origin story of VS Code. We'll talk about how it was originally conceived and how it evolved over time. They also discuss some of the challenges they faced while developing VS Code and how they overcame them. An overnight success in 10 years, VS Code was designed to be lightweight and fast, with a focus on extensibility and community. We'll hear about culture and technical architecture as well as what’s next for VS Code and what users can expect in future releases.
