Top 5 VS Code Extensions You’re Not Using (But Should)

Top 5 VS Code Extensions You’re Not Using (But Should)

Visual Studio Code. Hmnn! The code editor so beloved that half the internet’s blog posts start with “My Top Extensions.", you'd have seen that, I guess. But let’s be real. You’ve got Prettier. You’ve got ESLint. You’ve got GitLens. πŸ₯±    Let’s dig into five hidden gems that’ll make you say:  “Wait… why didn’t I install this ages ago?” Let's go!   1. Peacock Ever had 17 VS Code windows open and accidentally deploy to production instead of staging? 🫠   Peacock saves your sanity by letting you 'color-code' your VS Code windows.   — Staging? Neon green. — Production? Angry red. — Random experiments? Disco purple.   No more shipping chaos. Your DevOps team will finally stop giving you side-eye. 😁    2. Error Lens Squiggly red underlines are cute… until you forget they’re there and ship your code.   Error Lens shouts your errors right in your face. It turns those squiggles into giant neon signs that scream. Cool, right? πŸ˜€  “HEY! You missed a semicolon!” Lol Perfect if you like your bugs big, bold, and impossible to ignore.   3. Tabnine Meet your new AI code buddy.   While Copilot is busy writing blog posts about itself, Tabnine quietly suggests code completions in any language. It’s eerily good at guessing what you’re typing—even before you know. For instance: You: `pri` Tabnine: `print("Hello, World!")`   Tabnine makes you look like you're synchronized with your code. I love this. 😊 There a reason why I love this, if you want to know, reach out. πŸ˜‚    4. Better Comments   Tired of boring gray comments no one reads?   Better Comments adds vibrant colors so your TODOs, WARNINGS, and HACKS stand out like a clown at a funeral.   Example: ```js // TODO: Refactor this spaghetti // ! WARNING: Deletes everything // ? Why did I write this? ```   5. Bookmarks Ever scroll through a 3,000-line file screaming “WHERE’S THAT ONE LINE?!” Bookmarks lets you drop digital Post-it notes in your code. Jump instantly to important lines without wearing out your scroll wheel.   — Bug here? Bookmark it. — Cryptic regex here? Bookmark it. — Code that makes you cry? Bookmark it.   Life’s too short to get lost in your own code, I mean your own code. Imagine. πŸ˜‚    In conclusion, your code deserves more than vanilla VS Code. Give it some pizzazz. Make your dev life easier—and a little more cooler. 😎    Install these gems and become the office “VS Code Wizard or at least the person who doesn’t accidentally deploy to production.   Got a secret extension? Spill the beans below! I'll be waiting for your comments! Go and type what's in your mind or should I ask Tabnine extension to help me read your mind? 😁   Ayotomiwa
