Here’s a concise English review of the article “S6:E7 – VS Code and the Extended VS Code Universe”:
I really appreciated how this episode brings clear insight into the world beyond just VS Code itself. It’s refreshing to hear perspectives from Jonathan Carter and Cassidy Williams, especially on how extensions, integrations, and community tooling evolve the editor into an ecosystem. The balance of practical advice and broader vision makes it useful whether you’re a casual plugin user or deep into extension development. The write-up on dev.to captures that enthusiasm and information well — a solid resource to revisit even after listening.
