🛠️ 2 Simple VS Code & Debugging Hacks Every Developer Should Use! 🚀

1️⃣ One VS Code Setting That Speeds Up Your Workflow ⚡

Many developers don’t realize how much time they waste on manual saving, mismatched brackets, and repetitive coding. Try these simple settings:

✅ Auto Save: Automatically saves your work after a short delay.

"files.autoSave": "afterDelay"

✅ Bracket Pair Colorization: Highlights matching brackets for better readability.

"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true

✅ AI-Powered Code Suggestions: Install Tabnine AI or Codeium to boost coding speed with smart autocompletions.

2️⃣ Stop Using console.log() – Try These Instead! 🔍

console.log() is great, but there are better ways to debug your JavaScript code. Here are some game-changing alternatives:

🚀 Format data properly with console.table()

const users = [{ name: "John", age: 25 }, { name: "Jane", age: 30 }];
console.table(users);

🚀 Use debugger; to pause execution and inspect variables in Chrome DevTools

function fetchData() {
  debugger; // Opens DevTools and pauses execution here
  return fetch("https://api.example.com").then(res => res.json());
}

function fetchData() {
  debugger; // Opens DevTools and pauses execution here
  return fetch("https://api.example.com").then(res => res.json());
}

🚀 Measure execution time with console.time()

console.time("fetchData");
fetchData().then(() => console.timeEnd("fetchData"));

💡 Bonus Tip: If you’re not using these yet, start now and watch your debugging and workflow efficiency skyrocket! 🚀
