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
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/309947
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.

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.

How to Convert Supplier CSVs to Shopify/Amazon/WooCommerce Without Uploading to a Server
eBay: 30+ fields (item specifics, variations, shipping) Each schema is a JSON file defining field names, data types, and validation rules. The mapper walks source → target assignments and applies type coercion (string → number, date formatting, etc.) before export. The entire app stays under 200 KB gzipped by avoiding heavy UI libraries. It's built with Preact + htm (no JSX build step) and styled with Tailwind CSS v4. Export & Practical Considerations Export uses the standard Blob + download API. No server round-trip — just an ephemeral click with URL.createObjectURL(). The free tier handles 50 rows, enough to validate the mapping before committing. Column mapping profiles can be saved and reused, which is useful when the same supplier sends weekly inventory files with identical headers. Try It If you deal with supplier files regularly, you might find this useful. SKUMart handles all of this out of the box — just drop a file and export.
