Hello guys! In this article, we are going through a list of 5 Visual Studio Code extensions that are not that common, but I will keep using them in 2024, so keep reading!
1. The first one on the list is Codium AI
As the past year has been full of AI tools, this one is really, really helpful! Because it does something that could be sometimes, if not always, boring work for us, developers. It writes code tests! 🙂

2. Bookmarks
This extension helps us move around our code easily and quickly, so we don’t have to search for it. We can also pick specific lines or regions you’ve bookmarked, making it handy for analyzing log files.
