As a MERN Stack developer, I spend most of my day inside Visual Studio Code. Over time, I realized that the right extensions can save hours of work, reduce errors, and make development much more enjoyable.

After building multiple web applications, freelance projects, and full-stack applications, these are the VS Code extensions that have had the biggest impact on my productivity.

1. Prettier – Code Formatter

One of the most popular VS Code extensions for developers.

Prettier automatically formats your code whenever you save a file, ensuring consistent styling across your entire project.
