This might be one of the strangest product video editing decisions I've seen.

Is this just a vibe-coded IDE? The tagline "Modular IDE designed for agentic coding" and description don't really summarize what this does differently, and I'm not looking at a video to figure that out.

Ok, I am sold on this. I give you 60 billion!

Like with most full products that are vibecoded, there's very little to no originality in this - just strange packaging of things that already exist.

The mushroom product video gave me a good laugh. Thank you!

So the defaults are Codex and Claude? I use neither.

It would appear that the author of this posted a big pile of AI slop describing project and was heavily downvoted.

Am I the only one who is getting tired of all the AI stuff in VS Code? I just want to open my ide and not be greeted by a dozen AI prompts begging to have it code something for me.

Its such a distraction. I want less of this stuff not more of it.
