    You might need to explain to me. I’ve been having so many issues just using vscodium, took me forever to figure out I need to build and compile the code myself and not run it using the play button like Visual Studio in school (I’m a second year comp sci student).

      In vs code there’s a run button just like in visual studio. You can also press F5. You will most probably need to install an extension specific to your language so vscode knows what to do when you press F5. For some languages, you’ll also have to create a launch.json file manually. launch.json is what describes what the “run” button does.

      Check into the available plugins for your language. VsCodium’s architecture pushes everything that not everyone needs into plugins, so unless you’re just taking notes, you’ll need a plugin for your chosen programming language, and eventually another for your chosen deployment environment (AWS, Azure, etc).
