Every software developer has his/her own favorite IDE. IDEs provide us all the tooling needed to write clean, readable code faster and with fewer errors. Thanks to various hints and code completion, one does not need to remember commands and directives of programming language anymore.

I will be using Visual Studio Code as an example, but all the techniques described here can be applied to almost any IDE.
