Ask HN: Any tips for building a VSCode fork?
You can look at this fork: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium and see how they did it.

Microsoft is introducing hidden APIs to VS Code only enabled for Copilot
> Visual studio is open source
Sort of. The core is, and the installable binaries with telemetry and properietary extensions are not.
The open source, telemetry-free version of VSCode is called VSCodium: https://vscodium.com/
> Didn't cusor fork it and is building it features directly into the fork?
Yes, in their recent interview with Lex Fridman they argued that life as an extension is too limiting.
The main reason we criticise Microsoft for doing this and not them is just their size and market dominance.
Why jump through hoops to make competitors better able to hotwire their own AI into VSCode, or hotwire Copilot into their own IDE, when it's easier to iterate fast and remain unpredictable?

Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture
> If you enjoy a rabbithole, look at how much DRM there is in Pylance (another extension that MS has locked down): https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641
The funny thing is that I’ll never understand why it’s not open source and why its license prohibits its use in VSCodium. Pylance is good, but not that good. Certainly not on a level of PyCharm. What incentive do they have to keep it secret except being evil?

Forget ChatGPT: why researchers now run small AIs on their laptops
If you're gonna go with a VS code extension and you're aiming for privacy, then I would at least recommend using the open source fork VS Codium.

Maker of RStudio launches new R and Python IDE
This looks great, combining the best of VSCode and RStudio.
I prefer coding in VSCode but prefer data exploration in RStudio.
The only issue with this is the lack of copilot. Copilot can be installed on VSCodium [1] but it breaks often.
