Steps to try debugging on notebooks

1. Get the latest extension on VS Code insiders
2. Create a venv (python -m venv [directory]) (Conda is not supported yet)
3. Install ipykernel 6 on your venv (pip install ipykernel --pre)
4. Set the experiment setting on settings.json "jupyter.experimental.debugging": true
5. Open a notebook and select your venv on the kernel picker
6. Click this button on the toolbar
   

You'll be able to set and hit breakpoints when running cells.

So sorry @ahmednrana! This is in main now, I'll update the instructions.
