<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Tool: VS Code Extensions</span></p><p>Let’s talk about something that makes your coding life 10x easier: extensions in VS Code.
</p><p>If you’re using VS Code, you’re already off to a good start. But did you know there are tools you can install inside VS Code to help you code faster, cleaner, and smarter?
</p><p>Here are 3 beginner-friendly ones I personally use:
</p><p>1. Prettier
</p><p>This extension formats your code neatly. No more messy indents or spacing. Just clean, consistent code with one click.
</p><p>2. ESLint
</p><p>This checks your code for errors and bad practices as you type. It’s like having a mini code reviewer watching your back.
</p><p>3. Live Server
</p><p>This lets you see your HTML and CSS projects live in the browser. Just click “Go Live” and you’ll see changes as you code without refreshing manually.
</p><p>Why use extensions at all?
</p><p>Because they:
</p><p>🌹 Save you time
</p><p>🌹 Help you avoid mistakes
</p><p>🌹 Make your code more professional
</p><p>You don’t need to install everything. Just start with a few that match what you're working on.
</p><p>Have you used any of these before?
</p><p>If not, which one are you trying first?
</p><p>Drop your thoughts in the comments.
</p><p>And follow so you don’t miss Day 7.</p><p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
