Pragmatic Toaster is a user-friendly extension designed to enhance coding experiences by providing insightful tips from the acclaimed book, The Pragmatic Programmer. With this extension, a random programming tip is displayed as a toast notification, helping developers to remember and apply best practices in their daily work.

Key Features

• On-Demand Tip Display: Users can trigger the display of a random tip at any time by entering a specific command.
• Automatic Notifications: Configure the extension to show tips automatically after a set number of file saves, allowing for continuous learning without interrupting workflow.

Configuration Settings

The Pragmatic Toaster offers customizable settings:

• pragmaticToaster.minSaves: Define the minimum number of file saves before a tip is shown.
• pragmaticToaster.maxSaves: Set the maximum number of file saves before a tip notification appears.

For fixed intervals, set both minSaves and maxSaves to the same value. Setting both to 0 will disable automatic tip notifications.
