codesections<p>@22@octodon.social</p><p>&gt; I like VS Code. But I wish there was an easy place to log this bet, like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Metaculus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Metaculus</span></a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GoodJudgementProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GoodJudgementProject</span></a>, superforecaster style. I’d bet long odds today that VS Code will be replaced in Lindy-time.</p><p>I haven&#39;t encountered that exact usage of &quot;lindy-time&quot; before – are you saying that you believe vscode&#39;s future lifespan is lower than its past lifespan? I.e., that it&#39;ll be essentially dead in ~5 years?</p><p>I *don&#39;t* like vscode but would take the other side of that bet</p>
Guillaume 🦗<p>If you want to practice making accurate predictions, I recommend Metaculus! It's a website that allows you to make predictions, with uncertainty ranges, on questions about the future.
