Apparently when you live code at a conference, you may get a lot of questions on… your VS-code set up:

“Why is your screen on fire?”

“How can you view your brain images directly in the IDE?”

I was asked to make a list and I always do what I am told, so here we go in no particular order.

  • niivue to directly view you brain images when you click on them

  • power-mode to add flames, sparkles or fireworks to your cursor as you are typing. You can also add a combo tracker to keep track of long typing streaks and many other completely useless but very cool usual effects.

  • vscode-pets if you are running something that less time than it takes to make coffee, don’t go on social media, but play catch with your virtual pet in your IDE.
