This is what I'm getting chrome console when I run server:

1) What does this have to do with vs code? 2) Your STATICFILS_DIRS is not configured correctly.

STATICFILS_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/Users/username/Desktop/Telusko/Projects/telusko/static')
]

Use

STATICFILS_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static" )
]

This will look in folder called static that lives at the same level as your manage.py (BASE_DIR). You don't have to use this at all though if you keep a static folder in each app.

Also, just a heads up the tutorial is using django 2 and you're using django 3 which may or may not cause you problems (I haven't used 3 yet).
