john-smilga/VS-CODE-SETUP
A personal VS Code setup repo from a JavaScript/React instructor listing extensions and editor settings. It's a snapshot of one developer's environment from early 2021, not a maintained configuration framework.
- Includes a settings.json so you can copy-paste actual config, not just read about it
- Extension list is focused on a specific stack (React/Svelte/JS) rather than trying to cover everything
- Practical for beginners following along with John Smilga's courses who want a matching environment
- Last updated March 2021 — Bracket Pair Colorizer is now built into VS Code and the extension was deprecated, ES7 snippets extension has been superseded, so several recommendations are already stale
- No settings.json content in the README itself, just a file in the repo — you have to dig for what's actually configured
- Zero explanation of why these extensions were chosen or how to configure them beyond two-line descriptions
- 607 stars almost entirely from course students copying their instructor's setup, not independent signal of quality
