Category: Developer Setup Last tested: January 2025

PROBLEM

In the beginning, like a simple user, i was code directly query code on the chat and asking back same ready code. I still appreciate the code coming back, yes, but sometime, due to the long line, the browers would freeze; this making me refreshing the page, and writing hoping for it not to be getting stack more.

I wasn’t lucky because onece the chat memory wuould run out, the model would freeze.

What was happening:

• The chat memory would run out and the model would freeze
• I had to close the tab and reopen it from scratch;
• Fragmented workflow: I was going back and forth between windows. Sometimes might be times not used in the best way
• Copy code from ChatGPT, paste into VS Code, test, go back to ChatGPT over and over again.

It was spent not productively.

THE SOLUTION: VS Code + Codex

By reading and paying attention to model development , I then discovered I could integrate AI directly inside VS Code. How ? By simple adding the open ai extention into it.

Now i was able to fully control my files, ru scripts directly from the integrated terminal, see websites locally with LiveServer with ease and no token/ memory issue in the browser or chat.

Everything now in a single platform.

THIS SETUP OR OTHER SETUPS?
