In this episode of GOTO Unscripted, Julian Wood interviews Christian Heilmann, former principal program manager for developer tools at Microsoft. Christian emphasizes the need to break free from the traditional monolithic IDE and debugging tools by leveraging the power of web technology and standardizing extensions. By highlighting the importance of contextual tooling, where interfaces learn from user behavior and provide automated suggestions and simplified workflows, he aims to streamline the development process and make it more accessible, empowering developers to focus on writing code rather than navigating complex environments.
