Original: VS Code Extensions You're Not Using (But Should Be)
Short summary
A listicle recommending seven under-the-radar VS Code extensions: Error Lens for inline diagnostics, GitLens for Git integration, a lightweight REST client, project switchers, bookmarks, and a console.log shortcut tool. Each gets a brief paragraph with minimal depth — no benchmarks, no comparisons, no configuration guidance. The post is a quick scan for developers looking to upgrade their editor setup.
- •Error Lens shows inline diagnostics at end of offending lines for faster bug spotting
- •GitLens adds blame annotations, file history, and diff comparisons to VS Code
- •Lightweight REST client built into VS Code sidebar as a Postman alternative
