Daily Software Tips & Tricks

If you use VS Code for everything from heavy backend development to writing markdown notes or presenting, your editor can get incredibly bloated with extensions and custom settings. You can solve this by using VS Code Profiles (click the gear icon in the bottom left).

Profiles let you save distinct sets of extensions, settings, keyboard shortcuts, and UI layouts. You can have a lightweight "Markdown" profile, a distraction-free "Focus" profile, and a fully loaded "Full-Stack" profile. It keeps your workspace fast, organized, and tailored to the exact task at hand.
