please update the link to this
https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download?build=stable&os=linux-x64

wget "https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download?build=stable&os=linux-x64" -O code_latest_amd64.tar.gz
to be more exact.

Don't forget to install wget beforehand: sudo swupd bundle-add wget.
Also, VScode wouldn't work under Wayland for me, had to log out, switch to Xorg (X11) and make that the default.
