Featured content | | | These lovely VS Code extensions used to be so very helpful to save time and be more productive. | But this is 2025 now, and coding agents and AI-first IDEs like Windsurf have them all much less useful or completely obsolete. | 1. JavaScript (ES6) code snippets | What did it do?
Provided shortcut-based code templates (e.g. typing clg → console.log()), saving keystrokes for common patterns. | Why less useful:
AI generates code dynamically based on context and high-level goals — not just boilerplate like forof → for (...) {} and clg → console.log(...) . It adapts to your logic, naming, and intent without needing memorized triggers. | | Just tell it what you want at a high-level in natural language, and let it handle the details of if statements and for loops and all. | And of course when you want more low-level control, we still have AI code completions to easily write the boilerplate for you. | 2. Regex Previewer | What did it do?
Helped users write and preview complex regular expressions for search/replace tasks or data extraction. | Why less useful:
AI understands text structure and intent. You just ask "extract all prices from the string with a new function in a new file" and it writes, explains, and applies the regex. | | 3. REST Client | What did it do?
Let you write and run HTTP requests (GET, POST, etc.) directly in VSCode, similar to Postman. | Why less useful:
AI can intelligently run API calls with curl using context from your open files and codebase. You just say what you want to test — "Test this route with curl". | | | | Join our free new Coding Beauty community to start learning how to build a successful $10K SaaS business with the power of coding and AI. | | News you're not getting—until now. | | Join 4M+ professionals who start their day with Morning Brew—the free newsletter that makes business news quick, clear, and actually enjoyable. | Each morning, it breaks down the biggest stories in business, tech, and finance with a touch of wit to keep things smart and interesting. | Check it out | |
