I like the one with the pets :)

[@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

[@physiologic187]

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

[@azeek]

Yooo, keep up the great work ❤

[@andorej9555]

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

[@CattopyTheWeb]

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

[@JackHeslewood]

The live server one looks great! Thanks Lewis

[@domx5q]

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

[@Aaron.Seabolt]

Adding these when I get home.

[@aboxthatdrools]

Prettier and Liveserver are a combo.

[@jibeshshrestha9177]

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

[@carloslorenzo6422]

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

[@jesprotech]

Thanks for the video! Very informative. Peacock looks amazing! Great work!

[@chetanchandel8850]

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

[@MilMike]

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

[@adityamishra8497]

my favorite theme is Shades of Code by solvable

[@nanachris5559]

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

[@masteroflame6141]

Half of these I can't even use in my codebase. Neat!

[@terminatorhd6208]

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

"You haven't touched grass in a week" Me: "Nah, more or like a decade or so"

[@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.

[@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

[@galatei11]

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

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

[@bondoTwelve]

Thank you 🎉

[@mvnkycheez]

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

[@viktorlernt6063]

GitLens is very usefull to see what was done in last commits.

[@malipetek]

Peacock is wonderful

[@Nico-vm9xp]

[@uKaigo]

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

[@JustinShaedo]

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

[@DeanMasley]

Lunarvim for the win! Never going back

[@CarolBope12]

[@younesstouzani]

Ty , I use ecams

[@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

[@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.

[@Hany4]

Thanks

[@internetexplorer7880]

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

[@levayv]

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

[@juicedelemon]

the best is the vim extension

[@danielade.2434]

I personally think ‘A Silent Voice’ is leaps and bounds better than ‘Your Name’ in terms of music, plot, visual design, just the works.

[@hrvojemarjanovic9188]

Wow Peacock, I didn't know, thanks

[@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

[@SmartWizzard]

I’m using most of these plugins

[@TheScriptPunk]

Git extension? Have you tried chatgpt and the terminal?

[@talesaugusto1878]

Can you make more??

[@kohiichii7621]

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

Always do research!

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

[@amanxyz03]

Ohk

[@jamesciastko8861]

Personally i don't like git lense. It pretty much killed our laptops while working on ours company quite big codebase with many dependencies

[@CodingWithLewis]

haha yep! It does get pretty heavy after a while

[@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. :(

[@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!

[@mjayroe01]

Incredibly In Your Face really helps with errors

[@keenanduplessis3023]

In addition I really like the following extensions: Colorize, Error Gutters, Evodev - Indent Rainbow Palettes / indent-rainbow, Error Lens, Path Intellisense, vscode-icons, Version Lens, And Tabnine.

[@ashersilver7388]

Theres already icons.. whats the point of vscode icons?

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.

[@bharath2508]

cfbr, commenting for better reach

[@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?

[@danielevans465]

what OS do you use?

[@soupnoodles]

pets happens in its own little subsection which i dont like. id prefer they travel the entire editor or let us define where it goes

[@BaptistPiano]

I use neovim by the way

[@y_san0]

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

[@devonchia5976]

Live preview has better functionality than live server. It has the live server window and devtools within vs code itself

[@thecoolnewsguy]

Still can't open React and other frameworks apps lol

[@Elloit009]

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

Prettier sucks. It isn't a formatter, it's a formatting style. Use clangd or something with actual customization.

[@zodoturtle]

No I don't. In fact, I just removed Visual Studio Code from my Linux install last night. I got tired of all my text files loading into that editor as if it was my fancy file manager. I was never using the editor anyway.
