Great article. You're missing something for productivity, though :) have you heard of Tabnine AI code completions? It uses GPT-2 based models to predict the exact code the developer has intended to type and saves thousands of keystrokes. Works miraculously with VS Code!

Very cool, I didn’t know about that.

I don’t use webpack in all my projects though so it might still be useful to have both?

I used to also love Polacode, but it appears to now be broken, and hasn't been updated in almost 2 years. Related issue: github.com/octref/polacode/issues/157
