Little point of criticism - you're listing number 3, Stepsize - maybe you should add a disclaimer that you're working for them.

Also I wonder how many gigabytes of RAM you'd need to add to your development workstation if you'd install all of these plugins, personally I like to keep my VSCode lean and mean, "less is more" paradigm works for me.

Sure, good point! I thought that my bio on the right is visible enough xD but yes, our team is proudly building Stepsize to help Engineering teams fight technical debt and easily link codebase issues to code 😊

I totally agree on the second point, these extensions are useful for different audiences, no need to install them all if it's not your use-case 👍

Polacode is truly generating beautiful images, but I find it's use very limited, since you cannot copy and paste from the generated image.

This list has a few good gems in it. Reminded me that I should clean up my VS Code extensions.

Definitely a nicely tailored list, thanks for the share!

I've surprisingly enjoyed having Copilot autocomplete comments and logging for me 😂 it worked even in french! Looking forward to see what else it has to offer

Trying out Peacock next, I hope it is subtle as they say :d

Nice list.
Speaking about Peacode, I prefer Snapcode.
Snapcode is a Peacode' fork that works with any language.

Maybe you will also like the VSCode extension "Blockman". It highlights nested codes blocks based on curly/square/round brackets, html/xml tags and Python/Yaml indentation. (I am the author of Blockman).
