[1968.82 --> 1970.78] I've always just used straightforward editors.
[1970.78 --> 1976.36] But I've always been a little bit jealous of some of the features that nice IDEs have.
[1977.50 --> 1982.10] And eventually, I made my way to Visual Studio Code.
[1982.54 --> 1986.90] And Visual Studio Code is great because it is an editor, but it has a lot of the features
[1986.90 --> 1988.54] that I've always wanted from IDEs.
[1988.60 --> 1990.08] So I use code now.
[1990.62 --> 1993.28] I also use code, but I work at Microsoft.
[1993.28 --> 1995.82] Did you use it before when you worked there?
[1996.56 --> 2000.68] No, I used Sublime Text.
[2002.56 --> 2005.12] But honestly, it doesn't really feel that different.
[2006.46 --> 2017.02] Yeah, I actually use Visual Studio Code with a bunch of syntax plugins for JavaScript and
[2017.02 --> 2019.22] node debugging stuff.
[2019.22 --> 2022.34] It's great because the library...
[2022.34 --> 2025.50] I'm on my Mac right now as I type this, so I can't even open...
[2025.50 --> 2028.50] Well, I don't have it installed on here because I just use this for the podcast.
[2028.84 --> 2029.60] But...
[2029.60 --> 2031.72] Whoa, that was a weird noise.
[2032.12 --> 2033.06] It's really good.
[2033.40 --> 2034.22] It doesn't...
[2034.92 --> 2036.28] I've seen...
[2036.28 --> 2038.74] So Michael's looking for a new computer right now.
[2039.34 --> 2041.50] And he's asking people,
[2041.74 --> 2044.66] you know, what should I get?
[2045.10 --> 2046.40] Well, he just wants a laptop.
[2046.40 --> 2052.52] But the reason I bring this up is because he said it on Facebook and some guy in his comments
[2052.52 --> 2056.32] was like, ugh, dev work on a Windows machine.
[2056.86 --> 2059.90] And I just wanted to be like, have you even tried?
[2060.12 --> 2062.44] Because, I don't know.
[2062.52 --> 2066.46] It's just so nice, especially with Git for...
[2066.46 --> 2068.38] I don't know how to say this word correctly.
[2068.58 --> 2069.50] Is it Ubuntu?
[2069.76 --> 2070.18] Ubuntu?
[2070.82 --> 2071.00] Ubuntu.
[2071.00 --> 2071.32] Whatever.
[2071.90 --> 2072.06] Yeah.
[2072.20 --> 2076.96] The bash for that on Windows is fantastic.
[2077.52 --> 2081.16] I have it running inside of Hyper, which is great.
[2081.70 --> 2087.54] And so, like, my terminal and my code editor are beautiful and they run great and they're fast.
[2088.82 --> 2089.06] Yeah.
[2089.74 --> 2091.06] I think, like...
[2091.06 --> 2093.94] Yeah, that was a weird comment, especially because, like...
[2093.94 --> 2099.24] I mean, we have statistics on this from NPM, but there are more Windows users of NPM and Node.js
[2099.24 --> 2100.54] than there are Mac users.
[2101.02 --> 2101.34] So, just...
[2101.34 --> 2101.66] Really?
[2101.90 --> 2103.02] Just marinate on that for a minute.
[2103.14 --> 2103.30] Yeah.
[2103.46 --> 2104.30] That's very surprising.
[2104.74 --> 2107.98] I think that they're a little bit less vocal on Twitter.
[2108.56 --> 2110.96] But, yeah, there's a lot of Windows.
[2111.10 --> 2112.72] There's a lot of people that do development on Windows.
[2112.72 --> 2114.10] Like, a very huge amount.
[2114.70 --> 2119.08] And one of the secrets to Node's growth, even early on, was having really quality Windows support.
[2119.08 --> 2125.50] Which, like, I don't think that people appreciate how different it is than, say, Python or Ruby or a lot of these other languages.
[2125.76 --> 2126.84] Like, it's really first class.
[2127.74 --> 2130.14] But before we get off of IDEs, I did want to just...
[2130.14 --> 2136.78] I want to get a list of your extensions, Rachel, because I just found some new interesting extensions that I'm really happy about.
[2137.32 --> 2137.72] Oh!
[2138.26 --> 2144.22] So, you can put at installed into the extensions thing, and that'll show you the ones you have installed.
[2144.60 --> 2147.50] So, I have the JS standard linter installed.
[2147.50 --> 2153.34] I have NPM IntelliSense, so that'll actually do auto-completion for the NPM packages that you have.
[2154.48 --> 2156.68] And, obviously, like, the regular kind of IntelliSense.
[2157.80 --> 2160.44] Also, search node modules, I think, is really cool.
[2160.92 --> 2166.06] It actually, like, searches your node modules directory for auto-completion as well.
[2166.84 --> 2167.98] I have a...
[2167.98 --> 2168.96] Sorry, you're not done.
[2169.08 --> 2169.42] Go ahead.
[2169.48 --> 2169.68] Go ahead.
[2170.00 --> 2170.28] Go ahead.
[2170.38 --> 2170.58] Go ahead.
[2170.58 --> 2182.74] I have this Markdown Preview one that's, like, super nice because I write a lot of documentation for the projects that I do, and it lets me preview it right in the window, which is cool.
[2182.88 --> 2189.50] I don't have to, like, open it up or push it up before I check out what it looks like.
[2190.14 --> 2190.88] Yeah, what a pain, right?
[2190.92 --> 2194.66] To ship to GitHub or something like that just to get a preview of your Markdown file.
[2195.86 --> 2196.02] No.
[2196.32 --> 2197.04] That's not how you do it.
[2197.04 --> 2199.96] How do I see what my settings are, Michael?
[2200.74 --> 2202.46] Or how do I see which extensions I have?
[2202.86 --> 2210.04] So, when you click on that extensions thing in the left sidebar, at installed, we'll show you your installed if you put that in the search.
[2210.98 --> 2215.16] Another one that I just installed recently that I'm loving is called Virgin Lens.
[2216.62 --> 2217.94] It's so webby and great.
[2217.94 --> 2222.22] So, basically, when you pull up your package JSON, it looks at all of the depths that you have.
[2222.22 --> 2231.78] And on top of the depth says if there's newer versions, like, within this range, if there are newer versions, if there's, like, a newer current version that you're not getting because of your package thing.
[2232.08 --> 2236.52] And each of those are just links, and when you click them, it updates the version in your package JSON.
[2236.78 --> 2237.98] It's super nice.
[2237.98 --> 2242.54] So, I have a lot.
[2242.80 --> 2243.40] Well, not a lot.
[2243.58 --> 2257.48] I have, since I also do a bunch of, like, styling stuff, I have color highlight, which whenever you type hex colors in your browser, it shows you what the color is around it, which is kind of nice.
[2258.80 --> 2260.26] I thought that was default.
[2261.10 --> 2262.40] I thought that was just on by default.
[2262.88 --> 2263.08] Okay.
[2263.80 --> 2264.82] I don't think so.
[2264.82 --> 2270.32] I have the Dracula official theme installed because it's my favorite theme.
[2271.04 --> 2272.36] It's so nice.
[2272.36 --> 2273.06] I thought that it's official.
[2274.24 --> 2276.62] Well, it's because people try and use the name.
[2276.74 --> 2278.62] It's, like, a really popular theme.
[2278.96 --> 2279.86] It's really pretty.
[2280.44 --> 2281.30] It's nice.
[2281.70 --> 2285.36] I have an HTML snippets one, which is similar to, like, Emmett.
