Show HN: Venkat – An inline code snippet execution extension for VS Code

We always loved the snipped execution in TextMate that shows the results as a tooltip. Venkat Subramaniam used it in all his talks and demos.

Tried to find it as a VS Code extension, but there was nothing. So not knowing how to build one and being TypeScript noobs, we employed GPT-4 to build it late night in a few hours. We called it "Venkat" in his honor.

And it turned out pretty well, so we're happy for you to try it out and let us know what you think (or rip it apart).
