It looks that we'll never run out of VS Code best extensions posts and lists, right? As an daily user of VS Code I think I can related with the feeling of share with other people how amazing some tools are and help boost our productivity in some many forms and ways that we wouldn't guess.
As a web developer and mostly focused on NextJS working with style-components and TypeScript, my arsenal of tools may not be everyone's cup of tea but more and more helping others and teaching, I decided to create an extension pack to better share my weapons of choice. After that you can just uninstall that you don't use it or even needed. After all, there's no size fits all, even more with such personal as is the development space in which we program.
This is all the extensions on my greatest hist lists, I'm sure most are very well known, others are more niche but super helpfull.
