Introducing the 'Become a 10x Developer' series, starting with one of the world's most popular text editors: VSCode. Read about VSCode's tools, extensions, features, and shortcuts to take your productivity to the sky.

If you're reading this post, then I'll bet you've heard about the mythical 10x developer. Do 10x developers really exist? Is it all just a myth? These are silly questions that we won't be answering in this post and blog post series.

Instead, we'll be focusing on becoming a 10x developer, or at least using VSCode more effectively. I'll give some context on VSCode and the structure of this post to start, but if you're in a hurry, go directly to the section on VSCode's tools, extensions, features, and shortcuts. If you're really in a hurry, here's a GitHub repo with my settings.json, and other VSCode files.

One note: I am a JS/React/web developer. I'll try to make this as language-agnostic as possible, but some JS/React/web stuff will inevitably make its way in.
