My VSCode Setup
Since there are posts like this going around on blogs like The Zen of Programming and DEV Community π©βπ»π¨βπ» so I feel like giving my π₯ take.
VSCode: Themes
My current theme is Gloom because itβs pretty and has the best balance of contrast and coolness.

I also have the standard Monokai, Cobalt2, nightowl, and level-up-vscode-theme which is my second favorite.
Extensions
I have a lot of extensions. Letβs just get that out of the way. I know I should delete a lot of them and I have. Just need to go a little further.1:

Some of my favorite extensions:

Final Thoughts
VSCode has come a long way from when I first tried it in 2015. I use it exclusively now, and am extremely happy with it and happy with my overall setup2.
I just installed 6 more while writing this. β©
Though I could get rid of some of these extensions. β©
