Hoping to make the VSCode/Cursor recipe more clear and easier to follow. Also adding instructions for VSCode OOD App and maybe RemoteTunnel.

## Other VSCode Best Practices, Tips, and Tricks

- Avoid running VSCode through RemoteSSH on the login nodes. If you are only editing files this might be okay, although it is not encouraged. Beyond editing files please use a compute node for VSCode, as described on this page.
- Add only the specific directories you need to your workspace. VSCode constantly scans all the files files and runs git commands on any local git repositories in your workspace, and it does this recursively. For this reason adding high-level directories to your workspace can slow things down quite a bit. For example, avoid adding your entire home directory or group storage to your VSCode session workspace.
