Heard about @LWN having struggles with aggressive AI scraping so I did the sensible thing and signed up for their $50/month supporter plan.

It has a lot of the great features like code completion prompts, linting prompts, a nice file explorer with NeoTree, and even got a powershell prompt for windows. Hoping to get something fairly reproducible for when I get to IDEs in my beginners python series.
