Is there a way to automatically find all unused public functions in a solution? I have resharper, and right now I have to do a "find usages" on each symbol, which is tedious--it seems like there should be a better way

In Python you can find unused code by using dynamic or static code analyzers. Two examples for dynamic analyzers are coverage and figleaf . They have the drawback that you have to run all possible branches of your code in order to find unused parts, but they also have the advantage that you get very reliable results.
The quickest way to find dead code is to use a good IDE. Delete unused code and unneeded files. In the case of an unnecessary class, Inline Class or Collapse Hierarchy can be applied if a subclass or superclass is used. To remove unneeded parameters, use Remove Parameter.
UCDetector (Unnecessary Code Detector) is a eclipse PlugIn tool to find unnecessary (dead) public java code. For example public classes, methods or fields which have no references.
It is currently not possible to detect unused public methods in VSCode (you can check for updates here). However, if it's a private method, you can mark it as private and VSCode is able to look for whether it is used or not within the scope (although do remember: methods used in the HTML template are public).
Of course there's a better way. Here's what you should do if you use ReSharper 4.5 or later:
