Obviously Random Name Generator!

Just kidding, I wrote that one when I just wanted an excuse to get to know the VS Code API.

Here's a few I like:
Azure Pipelines
Azure Repos
Bracket Pair Colorizer 2
C#
Live Share
Peacock
PowerShell

I think they're all pretty straightforward for why I like them and how they're used. The only non-obvious thing, is that with the Azure Pipelines extension, you can change the language of a YAML build definition from YAML to Azure Pipelines and get some better intellisense.

It's stopped me from "doing a dumb" more than a couple times!
