I got tired of copy-pasting the same Express folder structure every project, so I built this

Khelil Badro — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 11:43:46 +0000

Every time I start a new Node.js project I spend the first 20 minutes making the same folders, writing the same database connection, copy-pasting the same middleware. So I built a CLI that does it in one command.

beb generate <project-name>

Gives you a full Express + MongoDB structure with auth middleware, error handling, and TypeScript or CommonJS — your choice.
Still early but it works. Would love feedback from anyone who's felt the same pain.

10 VS Code Extensions I Can’t Live Without in 2025

Khelil Badro — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 16:45:31 +0000

As developers, our tools can make or break our workflow — and VS Code is one of the most powerful editors out there. Over the years, I’ve tested dozens of extensions, but only a handful have truly stuck. In this post, I’m sharing the 10 VS Code extensions that I genuinely use every day — the ones that boost my focus, code quality, and overall efficiency. Whether you're just starting out or looking to optimize your setup, these picks might just change your workflow too. My favorites include: GitLens for visualizing Git history inline, Prettier to auto-format code consistently, Tabnine/Codeium for AI-assisted autocomplete, Error Lens for inline linting, VS Code Icons to visually identify files, REST Client for testing APIs without Postman, npm Intellisense to autocomplete packages from node_modules, dotenv for .env syntax highlighting, TODO Highlight to keep track of tasks, and Project Manager to quickly switch between different projects. What’s your go-to VS Code extension? Drop it in the comments!
