Playing around with Copilot for notebooks in @vscode.dev and the new feature I just added that lets you attach notebook cell outputs to chat. Nice to learn the real bottleneck these days is my typing speed 😅

Every struggle to setup debugging for your Python code?

Look no further! New VS Code feature on pre-release TODAY now allows you to use no-config debugging! Install the latest pre-release of the python debugger extension and just add `debugpy` to the front of your run command to get started!
