Configuring vscode for development

Poetry creates a virtualenv where packages for the site are installed. You can set your python interpreter path in vscode to use this virtualenv's interpreter, which will allow a much nicer backend development experience.

1. Inside the backend/ directory, run poetry debug info and copy the "Path:" property under the "Virtualenv" category.

2. In vscode, open the command window (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows, Cmd+Shift+P on MacOS) and type "Python: Select Interpreter" and choose the command as it appears.

3. Click Enter interpreter path... and paste your copied path from before.
