I've worked on a few noteworthy titles that people probably have heard of: Oregon Trail, Expression Blend, Visual Studio, Internet Explorer, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop.
I've had lots of brushes-with-fame with noteworthy developers who I've worked at the same company, and pestered in chat and email: Herb Sutter, Raymond Chen, Scott Meyers, Alexander Stepanov, Sean Parent, Gabriel Dos Reis, Arlo Belshee, Mads Torgersen, Anders Hejlsberg, Dave Abrahams.
I've been very fortunate. I have a career doing what I enjoy doing. And I've been able to do it all without moving out of my home state, Minnesota.
And I've been able to seriously program on a wide variety of platforms, in a wide variety of programming languages. (Where seriously means I was getting paid for it, and not just toy programs for fun in a programming language I was fooling around with.)
Visual Studio Code was made by a separate team, as a separate project. Unrelated to Visual Studio. I presume the marketing folks made the decision to prefix Code with "Visual Studio", but I'm not in marketing, so maybe they had good reasons.
As I understand it (and I may be mistaken), the Visual Studio Code team was under Erich Gamma (of "the gang of four" Design Patterns fame).
I have no insider information. I presume Visual Studio Code fits into a vision of the future where compiling and projects are all managed "in the cloud". With projects in Microsoft CodePlexGitHub, and those projects ALM and cloud compiling using Azure DevOps Server (fka Visual Studio Online, fka Visual Studio Team Services).
These days, I'm working at Adobe on Photoshop. May sound sappy, but I'm on a great team, with great management, and a very successful product. I'm most fortunate.
Since 1976, so 46 years.

Cool. I hope to have a career like yours. Great job with Photoshop and Visual Studio. VSC is such a cool code editor. Love it.
What are you up to these days?
Am working on a project for a company with my partners ☺️

If I may ask, what is your train of thought if you had to recruit a developer?
💪💪
If I had to recruit a developer, I'd refer them to Photoshop Is Hiring.
haha! well not the answer I expected, but okay...
Your programming age is double+ my entire existence on earth!
Can't lie about that 😂... You right
Wow...😮😮😮
