10,338 PointsEnd of the video problem with a list
I found i had to use
a = type(to_line.split(", "))
print(a)
to get visual studio to show its a list type.
Its only a little query here I would reckon alot of people would use visual studio code as i do, and not workspaces and probably come across little problems like this.
Its not a big thing but i am slightly concerned about not using workspaces, would this be an issue moving forward??

Another issue might arise when the performance of a different version of something doesn't match what is shown in the video. The workspace version will almost certainly match the video.
