Atlantean VSCode Theme

Description

With the shear amount of time that us passionate techy types spend behind a glass pane peering at the world through code and technology, we thought the only thing that could make the glare of that portal any better would be a beautiful color theme for VSCode that was easy on the eyes but still popped where it needed to. After a few nights of digging into the thousands of color properties that can be customized, this was the result. Hope everyone enjoys the theme, and feel free to provide any helpful feedback!

CloudFormation YAML Keyword Lint Exclusions

If using the CloudFormation plugin to write a little IAC, the YAML linter warnings on CF's intrinsic functions can be somewhat annoying. To remove the lint errors for those intrinsic functions, the following settings can also be pasted into the settings.json file below the terminal settings.

}
    // Remove YAML linting errors for CFTs
    "yaml.customTags": [
        "!Equals sequence",
        "!FindInMap sequence",
        "!GetAtt",
        "!GetAtt sequence",
        "!GetAZs",
        "!ImportValue",
        "!Join sequence",
        "!Join scalar",
        "!Ref",
        "!Select sequence",
        "!Split sequence",
        "!Sub",
