Microsoft makes Visual Studio Code Extension for Arduino open source

BrianFagioli writes: Today, Microsoft releases yet another open source tool on GitHub — Visual Studio Code Extension for Arduino. This MIT-licensed code should greatly help developers that are leveraging Arduino hardware for Internet of Things-related projects and more.

"Our team at Visual Studio IoT Tooling, researched the development tools developers are using today, interviewed many developers to learn about their pain points developing IoT applications, and found that of all layers of IoT, there are abundant dev tools for cloud, gateway, interactive devices, and industrial devices, but limited availability and capability for micro-controllers and sensors. In particular in MCU domain, there are millions of Arduino developers demanding advanced features to make their development with device easier. Keep open source and open platform in mind, we started the work to add an extension on Visual Studio Code, the cross-platform, open sourced advanced code editor, for Arduino application development," says Zhidi Shang, R&D and Product Development, Microsoft.

So Brian Fagioli [betanews.com] as betanews is a profiting from these articles and as you work for them what you're doing here is spamming. Why do you, and by association betanews, think that this is acceptable behaviour?

Can I come to your website and start posting comments to your articles advertising garbage on Amazon with affiliate links?

Slashdot is a website where people can post anything technology related. Brian is being honest on who is. He didn't use a pseudonym. Also there is a firehouse system so the community can vote on whether an article should go like. Plus you are allowed to comment before a story goes live, if the article ever goes on the front page. I don't have an issue with this kind of self-promotion.
