Agentic Engineering: What Does AI Coding Really Cost?
For IDE-heavy teams, BYOK (bring your own key) can be interesting, no matter whether you live in WebStorm or VS Code. On the JetBrains side, the JetBrains AI plans and Junie BYOK docs allow it, and most VS Code AI extensions offer the same idea: keep the IDE, connect provider keys, pay the provider.

AI Doesn't Have ROI
One can (maybe, probably) disable copilot completely in vscode: chat.disableAIFeatures

I am considering pinning whatever the earliest version in which this setting was introduced. I can't think of a single feature VSCode has implemented in the last three years that I couldn't go without. The binary for 121 is like 50% larger than 120.

Best Markdown Editors for Developers
Option 1: Raw editing in IDE. You open the .md file in VS Code or whatever you use. Syntax highlighting shows you the structure. Maybe you toggle a preview pane. This works for quick edits but becomes painful for anything involving tables, diagrams, or complex formatting.

The Google Cloud Shell- available on every Google Cloud project — comes with a built-in code editor that allows you to browse file directories, view and edit files, with continued access to the Cloud Shell. The Cloud Shell Editor is available by default with every Cloud Shell instance, and is based on Code OSS.

Document Generation for Developers: Security, Compliance, and Build-vs-Buy Decisions for the Template-Plus-Data Pipeline
You'll need Python 3.8+ and pip for the quickstart, with venv recommended for isolation. Install the requests library for HTTP calls. VS Code with the Python extension works well as an editor, though PyCharm or Sublime Text work equally well. You'll also need a free Foxit developer account.

Google Antigravity 1.0 to 2.0/IDE Quick Migration Guide
Now here's the key point: Antigravity 2.0 is a huge departure from 1.0 in the sense that it is functionally no longer based on Microsoft's VS Code. That means a huge majority of all the personalizations from 1.0 will not carry over to 2.0.

VS Code Now Credits Copilot on Every Commit by Default
There's a one-line pull request open against microsoft/vscode. It changes the default value of a setting called git.addAICoAuthor from "off" to "all". The PR is titled, with no embellishment, "Enabling ai co author by default." It was opened on April 15, 2026 by cwebster-99, a member of the VS Code team. By the time the HN thread on the PR hit 1,239 points and 646 comments in early May, the practical effect was already shipping: every commit you make in VS Code, regardless of whether you wrote the code yourself or had Copilot write it, gets a Co-authored-by: Copilot trailer in the commit message.

Atom Was Archived Today
Heh, just a month ago Adobe Brackets (another Atom clone) did the same https://github.com/adobe/brackets
- GitHub is sunsetting Atom

Sunsetting Atom Text Editor
Oh, that's a good point about the sunsetting. In Brackets's case, Adobe left it active in the hands of the community.
Live Preview in particular is one of the areas I had some fun working on. I worked out a way to do diff/patch to make it quickly and incrementally update the browser[1]

Update: The state of Brackets (Sept 2nd)
https://brackets.io/ as well as https://registry.brackets.io/ are already back again. Currently there are still some issues with SSL certification but as soon as these are resolved we should expect to get a working extension manager again. After that, the community will be able to transition to the new branch of Brackets (brackets/brackets-cont) most likely by some kind of patch.
