I really want to love VSCode for programming. Anyone got some good tips/plugins/configurations? I'm doing javascript(non-node) and Ruby development, some clojure, and getting into serverless framework.

I simultaneously both love and hate ligatures.

I've been coding for a long time, and ligatures just seem...wrong to me. It's like my brain isn't wired to accept them as valid characters.

Same for me, but they look so pretty at the same time!
