Fun but not useful extensions for devs

As developers, we spend a lot of time in our code editors and IDEs, constantly working to improve our skills and deliver great products. But sometimes, it can all feel a little bit too serious and intense. That's why it's important to take a break and have some fun every now and then. In this blog post, we'll be taking a look at some fun extensions that are not necessarily useful, but are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and add a little bit of playfulness to your coding experience. So grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let's dive into the world of fun but not-so-useful extensions for developers.

  1. One extension that I absolutely love is called "GitHub Checks". This extension lets you see the status of your GitHub checks directly in your code editor. It's a great way to stay on top of your code review process and make sure everything is up to date. Plus, even though it is "useful", it's mostly just a neat way to visualize your code and see how it's progressing.

  2. Another extension that's perfect for developers who love a good challenge is called "Code Quiz". This extension lets you take coding quizzes directly in your code editor. It's a great way to test your knowledge and improve your skills. Plus, it's a fun way to see how you measure up against other developers. So go ahead, give it a try and see how well you fare.

  3. If you're a developer who loves a good meme, then you'll definitely want to check out the "nCena" web extension. This extension replaces 1% of the images on any web page with a picture of John Cena. Every time you come across one of these images, you'll be treated to a hilarious and unexpected appearance by the WWE superstar.

But the fun doesn't stop there. The "nCena" extension also includes a variety of customizable options, such as the ability to change the percentage of images that are replaced and the ability to select which images are eligible for replacement. It's a great way to add some personality and humor to your web browsing experience. The "nCena" web extension is a must-have for developers who love a good meme and a bit of levity. Even when you're browsing through boring documentation or technical specs, the "nCena" extension will keep things lighthearted.

And my personal favorite...

If you love a good dose of chaos and mischief, then you'll definitely want to check out the "Desktop Goose" extension. This extension brings a virtual goose to your desktop, and it's up to you to keep it entertained. The goose will cause all sorts of mischief, from stealing your mouse cursor to opening and closing windows. It's a hilarious and unpredictable extension that's sure to bring a smile to your face.

But the fun doesn't stop there. The goose also has a variety of customizable options, such as different colors and accessories. You can even change its behavior and make it more or less mischievous. It's a great way to add some personality and life to your desktop.
