Matthias Ott’s posted his VS Code setup. I find lists like this (I rounded up some recent updates of my own) irresistible, probably because, like y’all, I spend an awful lot of time in VS Code and wanna make sure I’m getting the most out of it.

Things from the list that stood out to me:

• I didn’t realize Bracket Pair Colorizer had gone v2 and it’s a separate install.
• I didn’t realize you needed an extension to honor .editorconfig files. Update: you don’t.
• I wasn’t using anything for PHP, but Matthias listed PHP Intelephense and I’m giving it a whirl. It has fewer users than the non-weirdly named one though? And when I installed that, I saw Format HTML in PHP which I’m also trying because, yes, please! (Even Prettier’s PHP add-on can’t do that.)

Messing with extensions is also a good opportunity to clear out old crap.

Also super interesting…

It's turning into an ebook/screencast/extra-stuff product.
