Hey DEV community 👋
I primarily use VS Code for working with React/TypeScript and Python.
I could use some help and inspiration for really getting the most out of my VS Code experience!
I'd love to see your setups :)
From pretty themes and icon sets to your favorite plugins for productivity and ease of use.

Wow, I just realized that it looks a lot better with Windows Night Light at 85% which is what I always have it on at.

I went down this route of endless customization of VSCode (and others). Tried some cool note taking plugins too. But in the end I found I was more productive with a basic terminal and neovim using coc.vim. I try to keep things as vanilla as I can, and when I find I do something a lot I make it easier(shortcut key / plugin). Kind of like setting an alias in your shell.
I have nothing fancy. My theme is called "Neon (Deep Dark)" and is theme I derived from a theme called "Neon Vomit" that was in the extensions marketplace. I tweaked a few colors and made the background black.

SynthWave '84 – Gimme that sweet neon glow.

vscode-icons – If it's good enough for the Goonies, it's good enough for me.
Font:
Fira Code – The first alternative-to-default font I ever used. Nostalgia.
Extensions:
GitLens – Must have
Dash – Use it all the time to look-up documentation
Snake Trail – Completely useless but something feels off without it
Wooah Synthwave Looks glorious 😍🤯

I like this setup because of the darker background and the contrasting code colors and this makes the code clearly visible.

GitLens is great, Live Share basically makes VS Code work like Google Docs on your editor, Error Lens makes seeing errors really nice and clear.
I'm big into remote development with VS Code, so most of my setup centers around integrating Visual Studio Code with a remote development server (which itself is actually a VM) as well as Docker:
Connecting VS Code with a Remote Development Server
Just read your articles and it looks interesting! Might be giving it a go. I'm getting ready to switch jobs and I'll be given an equipment budget.. was thinking of moving to something more lightweight and portable because I have a rather beefy desktop already, this would definitely solidify that option!
Do you have to do any extra port forwarding when running web dev tasks? Like starting up a Vue dev server for instance?
