3 most productive vscode extensions

Visual studio code proves itself again and again in every developer survey as the most used and loved code editor. You can install extensions to give it superpowers or match your needs. Today I will be telling you about the extensions that you can use to improve your productivity regardless of the language you code in. So here we go

Tabnine

After all the Github copilot hype if you still don't know about the AI auto-completion then you are probably living under a rock. Even if you have been using IntelliSense this is a huge step forward and it improves your coding speed significantly. If you are a javascript developer I recommend watching this video by code with ania kubow which compares tabnine and kite(another AI auto-completion tool), summing the video for you Ania concluded that tabnine is better, especially for javascript developers. The best part is that it understands your code and gives suggestions based on your previous code so the longer you are using this the better suggestions it will give. It also understands human language so it gives suggestions in English when writing comments, and what else you need. It's just not as good as Github copilot(comparing GitHub copilot with tabnine free forever) so it does not provide multiple lines of code suggested but anyways you can't use Github copilot free forever.

Code snippets

Create your own code snippets for the language you use from time to time or use code snippets created by the community for that framework or library. If you use any popular framework or library then you are guaranteed to find a vsCode extension for that. Just remember the keyboard shortcuts and you can now not worry about any boilerplate code.

Better comments

Better comments can be of great help to a project with everyone using it. Using it you can mark a code block as an issue, to-do, important and etc it will help you to get more productive in a group project and get things done faster.
