Hello πŸ‘‹πŸ».

Welcome to my "Week in Review" series. Each week I'm going to share what I discovered, learned, and tested with you.

I spend lots of hours each week in my VS Code. That is why sooner or later I had to customize it to improve my productivity. In this week's "Week in Review" episode the main topic is about VS Studio Code extensions.

Let's jump right into it.

I invested some time and updated my Zoom-Slack-Status-Updater. You can now also set the "Do not disturb" feature on Slack when joining a Zoom meeting.

There are three interesting features I recently discovered in VS Code: Multi-Root Workspaces, Tasks, and Code Tours. I might write an article about each of them in the future, but for now, let's focus on VS Code extensions.

If I could only choose five extensions, I would probably install these:
