Visual Studio Code

VS Code is the industry standard editor. In 2025, it has evolved into an AI-First editor with a native AI Companion and generic Agent Mode.

When to Use

Everyday Coding: TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust. It wins almost everywhere.
Remote Dev:
```
Remote - SSH
```
and
```
Dev Containers
```
are best-in-class.
AI-Assisted: GitHub Copilot integration is deepest here.

Quick Start

json

// .vscode/settings.json
{
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
  "files.autoSave": "onFocusChange"
}

Core Concepts

Extensions

The ecosystem is the key. 50k+ extensions.

```
Python
```
(Microsoft)
```
ESLint
```
(Microsoft)
```
GitLens
```

Dev Containers

Define your dev environment in

.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

. VS Code spins up a Docker container and connects to it. 100% reproducible dev environments.

Profiles (2025)

Switch between "Work", "Personal", and "Demo" profiles with different settings/extensions enabled.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

Use Sync: Turn on Settings Sync (
```
GitHub
```
account) to keep keybindings across machines.
Use
code .
: Launch from terminal.
Use Inline Chat:
```
Cmd+I
```
to ask Copilot to refactor code in-place.

Don't:

Don't minimalize too much: Hiding the sidebar/activity bar makes you slower. Learn the toggle shortcuts (
```
Cmd+B
```
) instead.
