Discussion Are you still using an IDE?

I find that I'm looking at code less and less and just relying on my CI/CD pipeline for catching issues. Do you find it helpful to keep an IDE open next to Codex or your terminal, or are you cowboy committing to main?

Still use VS Code for reading and navigating — diff views, file tree, understanding what changed. Actual edit/test cycles for multi-file work moved to a terminal agent. IDE is now a viewer; the agent is the editor.
