10 VS Code Extensions I Can't Code Without in 2026

说明与用途

作者将 VS Code 扩展精简为 10 个，只保留能展示信息并让开发者自行决定的扩展，从而加快启动速度并保持对代码决策的控制。

问题

A cluttered VS Code extensions panel slows startup, causes confusion, and introduces AI tools that make decisions silently, reducing developer control.

结果

By applying a filter that keeps only extensions that surface information and let the developer decide, the author reduced clutter, improved startup performance, and maintained full control over code decisions.

工作流

• Disable all extensions
• Re‑enable extensions one by one, keeping only those that surface information and let the developer decide
• Document the final 10 extensions

证据

A good extension makes the decision faster to make. A bad one makes the decision for you.

Error Lens takes the diagnostics VS Code already has and prints them inline, at the end of the line.

I killed the extensions that decide silently: the ones that auto‑accept a completion before I've read it, the "fix all problems" button that rewrites logic I didn't inspect, the assistant that quietly refactors on save.
