5 unnecessary VS Code extensions you should uninstall now (part 2)

We need to keep this number as low as possible to minimize this resource usage — and stop these extensions from clashing with one another or with native functionality.

And you know, there’s a significant number of extensions in the Marketplace that provide functionality VSCode already has built-in.

Usually they were made when the feature wasn’t added yet; but once that happened they became largely redundant additions.

So below, I cover a list of these integrated VSCode features and extensions that provide them. Uninstalling these now dispensable extensions will increase your editor’s performance and efficiency.

1. HTML tag auto-renaming

A powerful feature I didn’t discover for months after I started using VS Code!

You just start editing the starting tag and the ending tag auto-updates to match:

Extensions for this

• Auto Rename Tag (17.7M downloads): “Automatically rename paired HTML/XML tag, same as Visual Studio IDE does”.

But feature already built-in

I use this setting to easily get tag auto-rename without installing anything:

• Editor: Linked Editing: “Controls whether the editor has linked editing enabled. Depending on the language, related symbols e.g. HTML tags, are updated while editing.” Default is false.

2. HTML tag auto-wrapping

I can’t count how many times I’ve needed to wrap one HTML element in a new one — usually a div.

With this feature I can instantly wrap the <p> tag in a <div> without painfully inserting one <div> above and one </div> below.

Extensions for this

• htmltagwrap (674K downloads): “Wraps selected code with HTML tags”.

• html tag wrapper (458K downloads): “wrap selected html tag by press ctrl+i, you can change the wrapper tag name simply too”.

But feature already built-in

Thanks to the built-in Wrap with Abbreviation command I can rapidly wrap a tag in any tag type.

Did you see how the new wrapper’s name changed according to your input?

I found another massive remote job site for software developers ($300K+ per year)

Job searching with sites like LinkedIn and Indeed can be really frustrating, especially if you’re self-taught, just out of college, or spent months looking for work.

Low response rates, insane experience requirements, countless rounds of interviews…

Luckily today we'll dive deep into Wellfound (formerly AngelList), a powerful way to get freelance and full-time jobs without much work experience quickly.

A way others have used and found massive success:

With Wellfound you gain access to tens of thousands of remote jobs from the world's hottest startups:

Rising startups are much more willing to hire you than the huge, well-established FAANG companies. You’ll get to have a significant impact on the company at the critical formative stages.

And don’t think this means they pay low. Many of them pay from $100k to $220k and above — Some as high as $300K.

They're swimming in investor money and expanding quickly, which means they need as many hands as they can get.

Their rapid growth also means you stand to gain a lot with their lucrative stock options.
