    One of my favorite built-in features is called Emmet. 0:00
    Emmet allows you to write HTML and CSS lightning fast using a shorthand. 0:01
    Here's a quick example of what it can do. 0:05
    Say I needed to create an unordered list with a class, 0:08
    and that unordered list needed to contain three list items, and 0:11
    each of those list items needed to contain an image. 0:15
    That's a lot of typing. 0:18
    But with Emmet you can type the shorthand ul.my-list which is 0:19
    what I am naming the class that's gonna go on the unordered list, 0:24
    and inside that we'll have list items times 3. 0:29
