7 Essential VS Code Extensions
You can’t miss these
Whether you’re an experienced developer or just getting started, it’s critical you have the right tools. There are a lot of extensions for VS Code that can make development more enjoyable and greatly boost your productivity.
Here’s a list of extensions I use every day as a full-time software engineer:
1. Bracket Pair Colorizer
Bracket Pair Colorizer changes the colors of corresponding brackets to match throughout your code, allowing you to navigate through and comprehend nested code faster.
This is particularly important if you work in a language with bracket-based code blocks such as Java.
2. Trailing Spaces
Trailing Spaces automatically highlights and provides an easy way to delete all trailing spaces.
This simple extension has incredible utility for picking out unnecessary whitespace that gets missed by linters.
