Episode 4: autoDocstring extension recommended but appears to be abandoned #377

How could the content be improved?

The autoDocstring VS Code extension has not been updated since 2022. Since VS Code extensions have been found in the past to have security exploits I think it is not a good idea to recommend usage of an abandoned extension.

There may be alternatives that are better updated, otherwise it may be best to remove the callout block.

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?
