I just started my new job not too long ago as a full stack developer. Wanted to get your inputs!

    Have a couple I can think of at the top of my head

    1) GitLens - It's an amazingly well built and extremely helpful.

    2) DocumentThis - Gives a super nice comment format for documenting code.

    • GitLens: amazing for all git related actions
    • Code Spell Checker: helps avoiding misspells :)
    • Path Intellisense: filenames autocompletion

    VSC Todo with keyboard shortcuts to them is my project todo holder.

    Git Graph - Something about being able to see branches helps me out

    Image Preview - Easy way to see the image you are linking too

    Turbo Console log - This is such an easy way to use log as a debugger

    Todo Tree - This is nice if you create lots of TODOS - has all of them in one spot

    SSH FS for being able to mount directories on a remote machine and being able to edit remote files within VS Code. Absolute life saver

    Also not a vs code extension but I’ve just recently added GitKraken to my workflow and it is absolutely one of my favorite tools.

      SSH FS sounds like a really handy tool. Thanks for sharing!

    There are a lot of such extensions. But if I tell you about the one, then that would be prettier, the one which helps me format my code when I save my file.

    Lint and format code automatically - prettier-vscode for js, vscode-ruby-rubocop - for ruby
    Get answer and code snippets to some programming questions - vscode-snippet
