🚀 VS Code Dev Environment

This repository documents my evolving Visual Studio Code development setup — tuned for working with:

• Kotlin + Gradle (OpenSOVD projects like odx-converter)
• Rust (adapters and sovd-lab experiments)
• Docker (multi-node diagnostic simulations)
• Markdown + Jekyll (GitHub Pages publishing)

---

🔧 Current Setup

• Editor: Visual Studio Code (latest stable)
• Key Plugins:
  • Kotlin & Gradle support
  • Rust Analyzer
  • Docker integration
  • Markdown All-in-One
  • GitLens for advanced git history
• AI Pairing: GitHub Copilot & Copilot Chat
• Build Tools: Gradle 8+, Protobuf plugins, ShadowJar

---

📚 Recent Learnings

• Successfully compiled odx-converter with Kotlin + Gradle + ShadowJar
• Debugging Kotlin inside VSCode with syntax highlighting + AI assistance
• Identified gaps: need to generate synthetic ODX 2.2.0 datasets for valid converter outputs

🗓️ Weekly Updates

I maintain this repo in sync with my weekly Diagnostics Demystified blog posts and experiments.
➡️ Expect notes about plugins, configs, and lessons learned.

💡 Next Steps

• Improve Kotlin debugging workflows
• Automate synthetic data generation examples
• Document repeatable setups for sovd-lab experiments
