So, following a blog post[1] from @webology and some guides about #VSCode plugins online, I set up #ollama with a number of models and connected that to the Continue plugin.
My goal: see if local-laptop #llm code assistants are viable.
My results: staggeringly underwhelming, mostly in terms of speed. I tried gemma3, qwen2.5, and deepseek-r1; none of them performed fast enough to be a true help for coding.
Do you use VS Code and the PHP Debug plugin to use @Xdebug?
It'd mean the world to us to leave a nice/constructive review:

En el #podcast de hoy hablaré de mis extensiones personales dentro de #VisualStudioCode (#vscode) para dejar un desarrollo #PHP muchomás cómodo.
Anyone familiar with Visual Studio Code and the Amiga C/C++ extension (https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2024-02-00053-EN.html)?
Maybe you can help this user:

(German, please use machine translation).
I can forward any answer to him. Thanks!
What are some common ways to track time spent on coding projects?
Should I get an extension for my IDE (VSCode) or use a dedicated tracker like Toggle? Just use Google Sheets or?
Ruby VSCoders - what keyboard command will Go To the RSpec file corresponding to the file you're editing, and vice-versa?
I _really_ miss having this at my fingertips
Introducing multi-root workspace support: the Quarto Wizard now casts its spell across multiple realms! 
(Currently as pre-release: 0.15.0)
Wow. #cursor seems very broken for #Python's virtual environments. There are some crazy bugs filed against it and it not being able to load Python dependencies. Issues that just don't exist when you try to run Python code in #vscode.
To the point that I'm giving up on my trial of Cursor simply because I want to get work done.
Frequently restarting TypeScript language server? Here is an automated solution for you: a script that does that for your. No VS Code Extensions required.

Hablemos de #SoftwareLibre
Much@s usan y/o conocen Visual Stuido Code pero lo que no saben es que #VSCode no es libre. Sus binarios contienen código privativo de Microsoft y además vienen con telemetría y, ahora también, con Copilot.
Queremos presentaros #VSCodium que hace lo mismo pero mejor, porque es completamente libre y sin las porquerías de #Microsoft Los que uséis VSCode echadle un vistazo que seguro que no lo vais a lamentar

Column-level lineage comparison:
- dbt Power User (VSCode)
- dbt Cloud
- SQLMesh
There are actually a lot of interesting differences.
See how they stack up:
" #VSCode extension that gaslights you while coding to improve your mental strength."
I can do that on my own, thank you very much.
La dernière mise à jour de #VSCode est disponible (https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_98), avec comme à chaque fois son lot de nouveautés concernant #Python (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/python-in-visual-studio-code-march-2025-release/) :
- amélioration dans l'intégration de la REPL Python dans le terminal
- paramétrage plus fin dans la recherche des scripts de #test (possibilité de définir un pattern)
- section automatique de longues chaînes de caractères
- différentes améliorations dans l'utilisation de notebook #jupyter
I wrote a little Rust program that shows how font with specific OpenType features will look. Helps to decide if I should switch my terminal to another font or not.

Longer story at my blog: https://mirekdlugosz.com/blog/2025/customizing-fonts-look-with-opentype-features/
It would be so cool, when #vscode would support PEP-723 and setup an environment in the background with uv, so that autocomplete and stuff works properly.
I currently enjoy to convert some workflows in Alfred and on my home server to single file PEP-723 scripts.
#VSCode extensions with 9 million installs pulled over security risks
If you don't know what's the fuzz surrounding Material Theme - Free extension for VSCode I gathered all the information here: https://tomaszs2.medium.com/developers-shocked-microsoft-disabled-vscode-theme-on-3-million-devices-b04480b68e63
J'ai découvert #Catppuccin et depuis j'ai changé le thème de TOUTE mes apps, du Grub jusqu'au navigateur web en passant par #vim et #VSCode.
