If you could install only one VSCode extension?

Halloween it's near, witches and sorcerers are among us... making his own magic potion. And me too... Muajajajaja!

Alt Magic Spell

  • Seven unsolved issues exist from version 1
  • Thirty TODO comment lines
  • Some spiders web
  • Ten drops coffee from java
  • Eight virgin libraries
  • Follow three repositories with 0 stars
  • One unused ASCII table
  • Two broken laptops
  • Junior developer's tears

And finally, the secret ingredient...

  • One Rubik's cube solved in less than 10 seconds!

Evil laugh! Trumpeting of thunders in the distance!

Dance around the pot, chanting.

Abracadabra! Abracadabra! Abracadabra!

Booom!!! Almost each one of us creates a post like this:

My preciousss! Gollum! Gollum!

It's like your own perfect spell, but only work in your reign!

That's why I think this kind of post is a useless thing than others can ever seen. It's a post made only for you.

Alt Creepy Ghost

But now imagine this creepy story:

  • An evil ghost was seized Visual Studio Code and limited to install one extension.
  • Ohhh no! Who you gonna call?
  • Ghostbuster!
  • No, they are busy this month
  • El Chapulín Colorado?
  • Who? No!
  • So?
  • You need to choose one
  • Only one?
  • Yep, sorry
  • Crap!

Alt Only One

  • What would it be... and why?

That's All Folks!
Happy Halloween 🎃💀

Prettier. Having to not remove spacing and fix my code when I indent to far is a huge timesaver.

And no more fights on merge due differences between developers.

I had to check which ones were actually extensions. VSCode is great with adding features.

That said, it would have to be PHP Debug -- How can I work at all without remote debugging?

Oh man I have no idea, hope someone that develop with PHP can help you with that.

This one doesn't exist yet, but the ability to start a VS Code session via Slack would be nice ;).

For me would be the theme generator which I can't remember the name as of right now, but it's pretty cool and I no longer need to spend any more time looking for themes on the internet when I get bored of the current one.
