Claude Code in VS Code

can run as CLI or as an extension for VS Code

Claude Code for VS Code - Visual Studio Marketplace

Unleash Claude’s raw power directly in your terminal. Search million-line codebases instantly. Turn hours-long workflows into a single command. Your tools. Your workflow. Your codebase, evolving at thought speed.

• Powerful intelligence: Use the latest Claude models using your Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription, or pay-as-you-go pricing
• Works alongside you: Claude autonomously explores your codebase, reads and writes code, and runs Terminal commands with your permission.
• New, friendlier interface that makes it easier than ever to get started
• Integrated with the editor: Claude knows about your current file and text selection, and proposes changes directly inside your editor window.
• Powerful agentic features like subagents, custom slash commands, and MCP are supported. (These features work in the VS Code extension, but some can only be configured using the command-line interface)

The AI future has arrived @Axios

"OpenAI's ChatGPT previewed the future with its chatbot release in late 2022. Anthropic's latest Claude AI takes you there.

Why it matters: Claude Opus 4.5 — which powers Anthropic's agent tools, Claude Code for developers and the newly released Cowork — lets anyone quickly turn an idea into a functioning program or app, using plain English."

AI Code Agents, with Human in the loop

excellent article, with core member of node.js team

The Human in the Loop by mcollina (Matteo Collina)

that is response to this provoking article

The Death of Software Development by Michael Arnaldi (@MichaelArnaldi) / X

"The broader community is only now waking up to the power of AI. Last week, Ralph Wiggum went viral. Ralph is a technique that prompts agents like Claude Code in a deterministic loop, iteratively building large systems from lists of small tasks. Twitter exploded."

this is the key point from Matteo:

When an issue lands in my queue today, my first instinct is to throw it at AI. ...
But here's the thing Mike glosses over:

I review every single change. Every behavior modification. Every line that ships

Conclusion

The human in the loop is not a temporary limitation to be optimized away; it is a "feature to be protected." The most valuable skill in 2026 is not prompting, but the ability to verify and stand behind the intent of the software.
