VSCode - History of VSCode a YouTube documentary, yes for real 🤣
Yet another thing I never thought I will write 🤣 They made a 1,5 h long YouTube documentary about history of VSCode. Arguably, one of the most loved and better designed products that Microsoft ever made 😊
So good in fact, that a lot of companies now forked it and made their own IDEs based on it 😊
Trailer first 🤣 (Honestly cannot believe I am seeing a trailer for something like this 🤣)

History of VSCode YouTube documentary
The new The Story of VS Code documentary takes you back to that beginning and brings together the people who helped shape the editor.
Hear about the early prototypes, unexpected crashes, hard technical choices, and the decisions that transformed an experiment into a development platform used by millions of developers.
It is also a story about openness, extensibility, and community. Developers shared feedback, opened issues, built extensions, and helped VS Code grow far beyond what its original team imagined.
The documentary looks at how GitHub Copilot, agent mode, and AI are reshaping the way we code and build software.
