It’s awesome! It means you don’t need to remember all the methods on an object. It makes exploring new frameworks very easy. It also means you don’t have to press all.the.keys().

Code Completion

VSCode will try to guess what it thinks you’re about to type. So if you go to a new file, and type ‘fun’, VSCode will offer you ‘function’, and you can just press tab and it will complete ‘fun’ to ‘function’.
