Dope VS Code extensions for a Javascript developer

February 27, 2018

According to Octoverse 2017, Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code tops the list of Projects with the most contributors. Which implies that there are a lot many developers who absofreakinlutely love VS Code. Here I have a list of extensions which might not make you a better developer, but for sure would make you feel like one!
