Here are the plugins I use:
- React Developer Tools (useful for developing with React)
- Ublock Origin
- Return Youtube Dislike
- SponsorBlock
- Grepper (shows convenient code snippets when I Google stuff)
- Cold Turkey Blocker (I use this to to block websites/apps when I need to focus)
- Shinigami Eyes (highlights queer friendly and anti queer subreddits/users/facebook pages/group differently)
When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python’s default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I’ve stuck with VS Code since.
