if it’s not “son of anton” then i don’t want it

seriously? I was a big fan of github copilot, then i was locked out of my yearly subscription for a while and when I could subscribe again my allowance was exhausted in a single prompt. Now i have build my own tools i don't need to open vs code and you are... building pets... at a time when everybody struggle to get some attention since we are over building... and it's not even peak overbuilding yet.

FFS not a pet. Can it be turned off?

How about 'Codey' go to work?

name it kode

vim

Coddy

Are there only women working on vscode?

onion. because it's clearly an onion

Visual Studio has now become the bloated IDE that it intended to replace.

Codi

Gumdrop

"Slash", named after the blue companion slime in Dragon Warrior Monsters II. But it's also an apt pun due to the slash-commands you use to invoke it and other AI skills.

I will give it a good name - Blip

Comotl :)

The stable one will be Colson and the Insider will be Glitch! Cool names for boths haha!

I’d go with Scout or Byte. Scout because it feels like a little companion that’s always exploring the code with you. Byte is a name that just feels right for a small coding pet living inside VS Code. Both names are short, easy to remember and feel right at home in VS Code.

You should name it Codo — like sudo, but for code. Now it has permission to mess with our code 😂

Why?
