    In our Daily News wire (7/8/2022), The Code Project has listed two completely opposing reports. The first is "Online programming IDEs can be used to launch remote cyberattacks" The second is "The Visual Studio Code Server (private preview)" I find such reporting very amusing. :laugh: On the one hand, the first report describes the use of online programming IDEs as just another avenue for criminally oriented hackers to exploit such software for additional attack vectors. On the other, Microsoft announces its preview of its VS Code Server that allows you to program VS Code projects remotely. What, Git isn't good enough anymore for collaborative work!?!? What is up with Microsoft? It seems that they just keep producing more tools that in reality no one really needs...

      They have to match competitors that let you run web based IDEs via prebuilt containers.

          They don't have to but they choose to

          Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

            Because of this post, I decided to try this feature out to help someone on the other side of the world learn some more C++. So it's not entirely useless. It made it easy to show him what I was trying to show him. Thanks for your rant! It was helpful. :)

              Teaching someone with this type of technology is one thing. Implementing this technology into corporate environments and small/medium business environments is something completely different. But I am happy that my "rant" helped someone out...
