    Australia have moved Joseph Suaalii to the wing for their rugby championship clash against South Africa's Springboks.

    Visual Studio Code, Microsoft's free open-source code editor, is trending on GitHub today. The repository's posts offer little detail beyond the project itself, so it is not clear from the available evidence what specifically is driving the surge in attention. VS Code remains one of the most widely used development tools worldwide, so spikes in its repository activity often follow releases, notable updates, or renewed developer discussion, but the exact cause here cannot be confirmed from the posts.

    Developers are reminding each other that Microsoft's VS Code is not the only option for coding. A widely shared post argues people don't have to accept the AI and agentic features Microsoft has built into VS Code, pointing instead to VSCodium, a free, open-source build of the same editor without any AI, available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The message is resonating with users frustrated by AI being added to their tools by default.

    A developer has released Rhun, an open-source code editor written entirely in assembly language for Linux, Windows and Apple silicon Macs.
