Don't expect an AUR helper to be helpful. Check the package and requirements yourself. The issue is obvious.

Re: I can't install visual studio code

If you look at the AUR package, code requires glibc >=2.28.4 which is linked as glibc-git package.

Edit: as hint if you read the wiki there is also a package called code, which does not bring this dependency

Edit: due later hint the glibc-git reference from AUR package seems to be other packages which claim to provide a package, at least if I understand that right

glibc 2.28.4 is the current version in the repos.

Stop using yay.
