    Users point to VSCodium as AI-free VS Code alternative●Everyone here probably already knows this… but you don’t have to use Microsoft VS Code with all its embedded # AI and #MmastodonTechnologySoftware921 h ago

    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.

    Rhun: an open-source code editor written in assembly●Show HN: Rhun, an open-source code editor written in assembly I found that I'm not using even 1/3 of vim/vscode featuresMmastodonBusinessStartups23 h ago

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

The project is drawing attention as a counterweight to increasingly bloated, feature-heavy editors.

He credits the setup with removing the hard requirement of being physically present, calling Cline a great driver while he steers from a distance. The post has drawn attention in software and productivity circles, where people are weighing how far AI agents can take over hands-on development work.
