Google support third-party tools in Gemini Code Assist

I use VS Code Server for this very purpose

This is an awesome development. I don’t want to take anything away from the credit due to the product. But I really dislike these bloviated corporate press releases. It reads like a full article generated from a 1-sentence LLM prompt. Perhaps the Internet UX from here will be a competition between AI-based content generation, and AI-based summarization, essentially DECCO instead of CODEC. Kind of like how spam grew to consume 99% of email, so everybody has to run spam filters to get what they want. Technology and the abuse of it move together.
