i use aistudio for free. i dump my entire codebase and ask him to make changes. he puts out the fully fixed files (keep files small as possible so he doesnt need repeat spitting out long boilerplate)
i have userscripts where i just have to press a button and it downloads the code, then local bash watching programs that move the downloaded files from aistudio (code files), into their respective file path locations.
so i dont even have to look at code really, i'm just writing prompts and dumping files of the codebase.
incorporating it into your editor just seems annoying.
also git is extremely important, i push everytime i get a few updates that are working.
because the llm WILL completely fuck up, and you want to be able to type this
git rebase 4331313 and it will revert your code to the previous working example. this is better than trying to debug the problem it introduced. just try again, but this time explain the problem better so he dont fuck up.
