You can add an "extensions.json" file inside of your workspace's .vscode directory with a list of recommended extensions[0]. The first time a new coworker joins the team, he only needs to pull the project and open it in VSCode, the editor will notice the file and prompt you to install the recommended extensions. The same thing can be done in the devcontainer.json file[1].

If you put the remote development extension in the "local" recommended, and the required extensions in the "remote" recommended, the requirements for the onboarding of a new team member boil down to "install VSCode, Docker and docker-compose"

It takes very little effort to not say β€œhe” and be more inclusive.

English is not my native language. In my native language (Italian) "coworker", like many other words, can be both male and female, but to avoid unnecessary redundancy our grammar allows for the male form to be used to include everyone with no distinction (even beyond the two default genders used in the grammar).

So, technically, my use of "he" was more inclusive than you realize.

The parent might be a non-native speaker and might have a mother tongue in which nouns have genders - the co-worker in German is of male grammatical gender.
