My favorite VSCode extensions

While vanilla VSCode already gives programmers a nice experience, the right extensions can make quite a difference.

Since the extension ecosystem is open, there are a lot of "junk" extensions that do not really benefit many users or don't work at all.

Here is a list of my favorite extensions I would always install on my machine.

Pretty TypeScript Errors

When working with TypeScript, this makes a difference. Some errors can be pretty hard to read and understand, especially when generics are involved.

This extension adds readable, nicely formatted explanations that help to drill down to the actual problem.
