10 VSCode extensions I can't work without

Hello everyone, today I would like to share with you my list extensions for VSCode. This list is based on my routine tasks, which I have spent many man-hours working on, and which will help you save your nerves, make your development experience more comfortable, and save you precious time.

10. Markdown Preview Enhanced

Markdown Preview Enhanced

It will help you preview .MD documents, especially when working with readme.md files for a project.

9. Path Intellisense

Path Intellisense

A minimalistic extension for autocomplete paths and file names

8. ESLint

Keeps your code clean and bug-free by enforcing style and catching errors early.
It’s like having a strict but fair mentor hovering over your shoulder.

7. GitLens

GitLens
GitLens is a powerful tool for developers that makes working with Git within VS Code much more convenient and informative.

6. LiveShare

Live Share allows you to collaborate with other users to edit and debug code in real time, which is much better than screen sharing.

5. Peacock

Peacock
Changes the color of the VSCode window frame so as not to confuse environments.
When you have 3 instances open: dev, prod, docker volume, you want to see where you are.

4. TabOutX

TabOutX
Tab out of quotes, brackets, and more in Visual Studio Code. Really saves time when writing JSX, templates, and functions.

3. Paste JSON as Code

Paste JSON as Code
Copy the JSON and paste it as a model for your programming language.

2. Import Cost

Import Cost
Shows the size of imported modules, which helps you avoid heavy dependencies if you care about build size.

1. Bongo Cat

Bongo Cat

Adds a cute little bongo cat to the status bar. Essentially useless, but I like it ;)
