Code editors

Specialized tools are helpful, but it's the pretty print module that I go for when I need to debug a value in Python. I use a Visual Code (VS Code) snippet to load it quickly.

I often use Visual Studio Code (VSCode) snippets for small bits of code and learned something exciting today: snippet variables.

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) adds language-specific features to files based on the file extension and provides sensible defaults. But what if your project uses different language modes per extension, depending on the framework used? Enter folder-based file associations.

Tabs versus spaces; two spaces versus four; Windows versus Unix line endings: code editor settings differ per device and developer, which can be a hassle working in a team. There is an easy way to share base settings, and it's called EditorConfig.
