> Great list! I would probably add another great extension for VS Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stateful.runme

> Agreed. This is a great list. Some new ones for me, and some I have have been using (and loving) for a while. I don't look for extensions very often, as I am the typical "old dog" and just keep doing things the same old way I have always done them. But I think the ones I installed from this list will really boost productivity and efficiency. Thanks!

> Installed "Code Spell Checker" yesterday after reading this article. And now I just found out that for the last 9 months I had a "tranformCompany" method in my codebase 😬
> Great extension !
