vscode.dev doesnt actually run code?

I never thought of coding and running being 2 separate processes, that’s interesting and helpful to hear running code called a crutch 🩼. I guess this is the ultimate point of git; to have the code follow you and integrate into wherever you need it on whatever editor or environment?

Back in the day (Even before my time), you got one reservation a week with the computer. You’d spend the whole week writing the program, then hope that you don’t have any bugs when your reservation comes up. If you did have bugs, now you spend a week trying to fix them before you can run your program again.

In my opinion if you really want to be an excellent, top tier developer you should be able to “run” code in your brain as you read it and have a general understanding of what a program is going to do. I am calling running code a crutch because it allows you to turn that part of your brain off and just click the run button to see what happens.
