Browse Reddit with Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

Ever feel bored at work and thinking that it would be nice to scroll Reddit without your coworkers noticing? There's a fix to that problem. 


Install Reddit Viewer. It does literally what it's name suggests. View Reddit. But there is a catch. After all, nothing comes trouble free, you have to work for it. 

Upon opening the command that starts the extension, you will be greeted by a warm and welcoming error. A great scare to an intern and a mild annoyance for a programmer. Just like any other bugs you can find in real life, just try to step around it and hopefully wont fly towards you. 

To make it work, just open the extension page. Then click the settings icon besides the uninstall button and click the extension settings. Next, you can either scrolls towards the 'Reddit Viewer: Home Trending' setting like a pleb or you can gloriously search it with the search bar.

Untick the checkbox. And now you can open the extension without getting any errors. As of writing this blog of course. You cant legally blame me if another error pops up in the future, I am not the author of the extension, just merely an educated user.

Thank you Eike Christian Karbe for creating this productivity-reducing extension. I promise to not browse too much on working hours.

For the savvy developer, knowing the right incantations can mean the difference between seamless collaboration and catastrophic code conflicts. Here's a compendium of Git commands that are essential for those critical moments. Handle them with care, for they wield great power. Reverting to a Specific Commit (Non-Shared Branches Only) When you need to undo changes and return to a known good state: `git reset --hard <commit-hash>` - This will reset your branch to the specified commit. `git push -f origin` - Force push the changes to overwrite the remote branch.
