16. Open Source, Extensions, and Visual Studio
16. Creating Visual Studio extensions, implementing new features & Schema Store - with Mads Kristensen
In this episode, we talk with one of, or maybe even the most active Visual Studio extension developers in the community, Mads Kristensen. Where and how did this start? What does he love about it? We talk about Microsoft using and being present on Github, contributing to open-source projects, and its amazing side effects. About what it's like responding to and prioritizing feature requests, implementing new features, and the contrast and compatibility of Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. And of course, we dive into how Schema Store, which collects schemas for JSON files, came to be and what it tries to achieve.
