After years of typing "npm run [script]", by habit, I just happened to stumble on this in vs code. Hover over the script name and click run. (I know, probably nothing new to everyone, but new to me :))
I think you can also add scripts to the sidebar in VS Code, which lists the scripts and lets you run them from there.
That's really cool too! I don't know how I missed that!
woah I did not know that! thank you :D

This week, I learnt that you can stash one file instead of all files. I figured it was possible, but never really had a need to do it until this week.
Interesting. The other day I learned that you can checkout a single file from another branch to the current branch you're working on.
Oh, man - third week of JS class, and since it's all new to me, the list of what I learned this week would take up too much space! :) Probably the most useful thing I learned this week was how arrays sort elements by converting them to strings then comparing their UTF-16 code unit values.
I use fsharpplus because the aether website was down when I decided to try lenses:)
I learned how to use PHP Storm and OMG it's amazing!
I learned how to use RabbitMQ as the communications layer for my microservices.
This week I learned enough of the pygame python library to be dangerous. I am pretty excited to start making silly games again!
I learn manage server using moss.sh
