"You haven't touched grass in weeks" Nah bro didn't have to come for all of us like that 💀

[@Younex]

I just installed the Pets extension 😂 they should make the Pets go around your code and jump on the lines that would be amazing 🤩

[@mattvolpe1492]

Don’t forget the one that splitscreens subway surfers. It’s real

[@danieloyeleye6208]

What extension is that?

[@TheDriftingStig]

Don't forget about "Incredibly in Your Face" and "Hot Dog Stand theme" as well

[@flaminfetus]

throwing my 2 cents in, tabout is an extension that allows you to skip past any auto closing syntax by pressing tab. you don't lose indent functionality either, as it only triggers while still inside any new auto-closed syntax. for example when writing a string or function and vscode automatically places the closing quote or parenthesis, after you type in whatever you wanted to, you can just press tab to move past it, absolute game-changer for my workflow

[@andorej9555]

VSpets are a MUST if you don't have a rubber duck.

[@domx5q]

Or just using InteliJ based IDEs, where all of the extension are there by default.

[@physiologic187]

I seriously urge you to try the "Night Owl" VS code theme. It's my favorite.

[@aboxthatdrools]

Prettier and Liveserver are a combo.

[@azeek]

Yooo, keep up the great work ❤

[@Aaron.Seabolt]

Adding these when I get home.

[@jibeshshrestha9177]

I might not touch grass but now I can talk to my vpets

[@CattopyTheWeb]

Amazing extensions! I'm gonna use all of them. Thanks Lewis

[@JackHeslewood]

The live server one looks great! Thanks Lewis

[@tuttoazzurri1]

massive salutes n respx to big brother Lewis…..👋🏻🇮🇹

[@nicholasneubauer4665]

I use neovim on my arch desktop btw

[@NaderAlmadbooh-ec7gs]

You're always exceptionally helpful in a time efficient manner!

[@carloslorenzo6422]

One of my favs. Error lens: highlights syntax errors as you code (live) => no more missing semicolons or brackets;)

[@chetanchandel8850]

vscode looks so beautiful when i'm not coding on it

[@mvnkycheez]

I used to use bookmarks on IntelliJ all the time, why tf didn't i think of getting it in vscode!?

[@adityamishra8497]

my favorite theme is Shades of Code by solvable

[@MilMike]

peacock seems to be cool, will try it. I sometimes have 5 projects open or even same project but different environment.

[@terminatorhd6208]

Gitlens is amazing. I used git blame before but the difference is crazy

[@jimmy9346]

Thanks for being great!

[@apatu1]

Thank you for this!

[@buggecarael]

I recommend some kind of auto save extension

[@amrit2057]

Go to file in the top left side menu and you will find auto save there.. Tick it on and your code will be auto saved

[@MartinQLynx]

You can get most of these built-in with almost any jetbrains product

[@xenomcz8419]

Yes, but vscode is free

[@MartinQLynx]

@@xenomcz8419 You pay with time for setting them up

[@SahilP2648]

Gitlens has saved me multiple tens of hours. Maybe even a hundred. It's an absolute must have nowadays. There's also Gitless if you don't like paying for the features which are behind a paywall.

[@nanachris5559]

Great contents Lewis, my question is which vscode theme are you using??

[@chrisberry6575]

Not my 4GB RAM screaming for its life😭😂

Live server should come with all code editors lmao.

[@SteparuBR]

vscode extensions you need, if you're a javascript developer - (not really tbh, but almost all of them)

[@uKaigo]

I like "Custom Local Formatters" for formatters that does not have an extension

[@levayv]

The beat feature VS has is uninstall button , to get a real IDE

[@fxiqval]

incredible watcher is a must have

[@Nico-vm9xp]

This man is multilingual

[@galatei11]

What I need is my personal choice no one else's!

[@JustinShaedo]

Prettier is good because you can format it all differently! 😁

[@DavidClunie]

Very nice

[@y_san0]

does any one know the theme name that appears in the first shot ????

[@internetexplorer7880]

Todo tree.... For better comments and bookmarks in the same extension

[@talesaugusto1878]

Can you make more??

[@TheScriptPunk]

Git extension? Have you tried chatgpt and the terminal?

[@stefangranath3841]

Comments in code is generally just an antipattern. Use clean code instead. Comments just add an extra layer that cost money to maintain

[@thecoolnewsguy]

Ever heard of documentation?

[@stefangranath3841]

@@thecoolnewsguy yes, and you let the code be so easy to read that it is the documentation. Its so common to forget to update comments after a product ages. Then you do not know what is correct, the code or the comment. Let the code speak of itself. You should instantly know what the code does when you read it, else you are not using clean code principles. More important is to document the intent of the code. What problems is it intended to solve, and why. This you typically do not document spread out in different source files.

[@thecoolnewsguy]

@@stefangranath3841 Comments are good. The bad programmers are the problem not commenting itself.

[@cerulity32k]

I love formatters because I can just spout out whatever I want and clangd/clippy will take the horrific, unreadable hellish whitespace mess i just vomited out and turn it into readable code. I always turn on Format on Save. Should this call chain be put in multiple lines? Ctrl+S and find out!

[@kohiichii7621]

I'm still very new to the programming world are all the extensions in VS code safe?

[@CodingWithLewis]

Always do research!

[@Soheil-ev6ls]

Verified extension? probably. Sketchy looking extension with 966 downloads? Best to stay away.

[@MrofficialC]

People should make a better commenting script for python because it just seems tedious to make a multi line comment and sometimes my comments mess up my code during run time. I'm thinking something like a free standing comment that's overlayed on the code much like how video games are rendered in layers I think the comments should be as well

[@younesstouzani]

Ty , I use ecams

[@WebMafia]

i was using Sublime Text before. started a JS project recently, and the next thing I know is I'm using VS code now. how does that work?.. guess I'll need some extensions now, especially the pets one because i don't have a rubber ducky. :(

[@DeanMasley]

Lunarvim for the win! Never going back

[@vishnuvardhan.s]

I just put breakpoints for bookmarking 😂

[@MeguVusion]

So is VS Code like a really good program made by Microsoft?

[@samarjeetsinghkheda9460]

better comments, peacock, bookmarks, vscode pets

[@TheBlackmanIsGod]

I don’t even understand what happening with git, don’t understand pull request, how they work how to Integrate it all into my work, I come from a time before guy and hit hub, this seems absolutely insane and wayyy more of a hassle than regular coding used to be.

[@juicedelemon]

the best is the vim extension

[@snich1950]

I prefer the live-server installed in npm globally, cos I can use it anywhere

[@Elloit009]

Live preview is better than live server because you don't need to save and reload the browser

[@kistelmodus43]

Hi, could you do that for IntelliJ? 😀

[@SpooningTreesap86]

Does bookmarks follow line numbers with changes? For example if I mark line 380 but higher up add 20 lines will it go to 400?

[@malipetek]

Peacock is wonderful

[@adityag6022]
