In case you didn't know: VSM has a podcast!

Get all the dev & AI news that’s fit to hear from our 1x/month “Copilot Chronicles” pod, available on YouTube and hosted by VSM editor David Ramel. In the latest episode, David breaks down what’s new in Visual Studio and VS Code, including the arrival of Agent mode. This isn’t your old “type and hope” AI helper, BTW; it can now plan, take action, edit across files, fix bugs, and keep going until the job’s done.

David also covers Microsoft’s move to open source the Copilot Chat extension for VS Code under the MIT license – a big win for transparency and for devs who want to peek under the hood of their AI tools. And if you’ve been wondering whether GPT‑4.1 is worth the switch, we tackle that too in this episode. It’s definitely worth a listen (and a like, subscribe, etc.).
