What are your favorite VS Code productivity extensions?

Madza on September 29, 2021

VS code has become so feature-rich in built-in settings, you should always double check if you really need the extension you have in mind: ...

For themes, Dracula has to be my favourite, dark theme but still colorful, lovely on the eyes !

For extensions, Tabnine is starting to feel like a must have, AI powered autocompletion that predicts the code you'll type based on your project and the analysis of other projects.

Always loved the UI of GitHub, tho Atom dark theme is still my fav.. I see you focus on MERN stack so the last one would be really handy πŸ˜‰
Thanks for sharing these πŸ‘πŸ˜‰

I don't remember using Atom dark, I'll have to give it a go. The last extension was great when I was focusing on the MERN stack, but I am now using the JAMStack and am loving it!

This are not the best but something very less people talk about..

Checkpoint - for testing 2 different things in the same file - sometimes very handy

Bookmark - you already may know it can bookmark any line in vscode then you can easily navigate to that line.
