10 Things To Boost Your Workflow in Visual Studio Code
And help you code faster
When you’ve hit that flow state, your brain often travels at a hundred miles per hour. You type out your code as quickly as you can, working hard to capture your thoughts before they disappear into the ether or recesses of another thought.
Visual Studio Code has been the rising star of code editors since it came out. For a long time, I resisted — not because it’s another code editor to try out, but rather because I had my entire workflow in Sublime sorted.
While the code and work are essentially the same — no matter which editor I ended up using — my productivity and output plummeted in the first week when I made the move to Visual Studio Code.
This, in part, was because my brain needed to readjust to the new way of working. There were shortcuts to figure out, keybindings to remember, ways to look at the code and extensions to install in order to make life easier.
Eventually, I got my workflow up to speed again, and it’s unlikely that I’ll switch editors again. Visual Studio Code itself is a robust and lightweight piece of software that’s free, with a strong extensions community. It’s one of the best things to come out of Microsoft.
