Title: Discussion 6 — Settings, Suggestions, and Surprises
Course: AIINFRA 100: AI Systems & Development Environments > Section: Week 06 — The Developer Toolbox & VS Code as an AI Workstation

💬 Discussion 6 — Settings, Suggestions, and Surprises (20 pts)

This week you customized VS Code with extensions, workspace settings, and (for some of you) an AI coding assistant. Reflect and respond to the following prompt:

Describe one setting, extension, or default behavior in VS Code that surprised you this week — something that didn't work the way you expected until you understood it better (for example: an interpreter not being selected, a workspace setting not applying, or an AI suggestion that looked right but wasn't). What was the surprise, and what did you learn about why VS Code behaved that way? Connect your answer to at least one idea from the lecture (for example, the layers of a dev environment, or interpreter selection being per-project).

Post your response, then respond to at least two classmates — look for a post where their surprise was different from yours, and share whether you've run into something similar.
