I use Background by Katsute. The best extension if you want a background while coding. It's actually neat, and you get used to it pretty quickly. You can even put gifs and it's amazing. Also, I use a custom program to color rotate the hue of the colors of the borders of my editor, just like with rgb strip LEDs. Though this is a hack as I just update the settings.json on an interval which is not ideal. I wish there was an extension like that but I don't have the time to make it.
In my base profile I always include 3 must-have extensions, - Better Comment, and whenever I include custom comments I make sure to save them in the workspace so everybody has the same highlighting - Path intellisense, although not always needed whenever you start using paths in a project this one saves my time And the best for last, - Sonarlint, I absolutely love this extension, it works for multiple languages, and tells me all the code-smells which are in my projects (plus a simple page why it's bad and what it should be)
Awesome suggestions. I don't really see the point of path intellisense as I think vscode, typescript etc covers that (unless I am missing something) but "better comment" and "Sonarlint" are great!
I have been your subscriber since the start of my career. It is always so nice to watch your videos. I see you shed a lot of weight. Keep going man. Love everything that you do for the community.
Awesome Video. Here are other good general Extensions I use: 1. Auto Close Tag - Automatically add HTML/XML close tag 2. Better Comments - create more human-friendly comments 3. Black Formatter - Python Text Formatter 4. Color Highlight - css/web colors found in your document.
Really appreciate the one "Multiple cursor case preserve" existing, thanks for the video and for letting me know it existed. Couple of them not mentioned here really good for me would be: - CodeMetrics - for code complexity - indent-rainbow - to add colors to the tabs of your file so you know what's the beginning and what's the end in a function with multiple ifs for example - Template String Converter - if you type ${ inside a simple quote with " or ' it will transform it to ` so you don't need to go and do it yourself everytime
Reopen closed Editor is like reopening a closed tab in browser. Very useful if you accidentally closed a file and quickly want to reopen it (also uses the Ctrl + Shift + T shortcut like in a browser).

For the screenshot extension, I use one called Snipped. It works mostly in the same way as Polacode (which I didn’t know of beforehand), but the benefit of Snipped over Polacode is that it actually takes a screenshot of the code you’ve highlighted (or the entire file by default, if no specific part of your code has been selected).
Great list! I added several of these. I especially like Multiple Cursor Case Preserve, which is going to be such a timesaver for me! Note on the Postman extension. After months of frustration, I found that _it_ was the reason the Refresh Browser extension wasn't refreshing when I would press Cmd-R.
With Console Ninja I've found that the logger is not useful, but what is useful is the count of times a message is logged, i.e. how many time a block is run. Could be useful to check if API is being called more than expected, for example. Would love it if the tool were actually dedicated to this and producing a summary of all marked locations.
Looks useful although I would argue writing TODOs in your codebase is a bad idea. Much better to have project management setup for this. Jira, Trello or something as simple as dynalist (it's not for project management but I use it because of its simplicity)
@@tejusr5525 Another point that I didn't mention is that if you want to not forget something before you commit then this is really useful. Let's say you're refactoring and want to make sure you don't forget to update jsdocs of your function then this is really handy. But this should be temporary TODOs that are resolved immediately. One should not commit them into the codebase. For that project management is best
Thanks Brad, some I've not seen before and will now use. Your the boss. You asked about vscode extensions we use a lot, I have to say Dev Containers by MS. I use this daily and clone repos in container volumes in conjuration with Docker. It can take a bit of getting used to but has become a daily driver for me personally. I get consistent and reproducible dev environments and can switch from one system to another, syncing as I go. This makes me happy. Hope your doing ok.
was just scrubbing my subscriptions after my daughter subscribed to every roblox channel there is and saw this again. You helped me starting in web dev my dude, legend!
The problem with "multiple cursors" type extensions, at least for me, is that you don't have to use them often enough to be worth learning them, remembering the commands. But even if I learn them, I forget them because I don't have to use them that often. So 50/50.
Thanks for your time & effort. Great vid, as always. One question... When explaing Quokka, you type "clg TAB" and it replaces into "console.log"... Did you write your own code-snippets, or is this an existing one (from a package, I mean) Thanks in advance for your time to reply.
Surprised Codeium isn't on here instead of Copilot. It's incredible, I've heard it's better than Copilot, and it's free. Even more surprised that VS Code Pets isn't on here.
I'm trying to reduce my extension dependency (in editors, browsers, Linux), VSCode has built in formatting and linting for html, css, javascript... It might not be as feature rich as Prettier but, at least for me, it does the job.
I feel it is important to mention that ChatGPT is actually not from openai but developed by someone else. Although dev name is visible but still be careful.
1. Auto Complete Tag: include Auto Close Tag and Auto Rename Tag. 2. Better Comments: more human-friendly comments 3. color-highlight 4. Error Lens 5. Git Graph 6. Open in Browser 7. Path Intellisense
One of the very, very convenient things about PhpStorm is - no saving. More precisely, autosave. I forgot about ctrl + s. And if I have to work in some other environment, it is immediately painful. At first it was unusual. But now it is so organic that it is not understandable how it could be otherwise. And as long as you haven't closed the IDE, ctrl + z works. Plus there's always git reset. Maybe VS also has something like that.
Multiple Cursor Case Preserve (new to me) Git History (always ignored, not again) Console Ninja (new to me) RegEx Snippets (new to me) REST Client (always ignored, not again)
I have found Phind to be far more useful than Copilot. I use both, but probably phind 80% copilot 20% of the time. They're both good, however phind is better.
