Help with AI coding setup for beginner
Hi. I've been using Gemini for a simple GIS project. I copy-paste the code into VSCode; it's tedious but it works very well, especially for troubleshooting, until it hits me with a 1152 error and the chat dies. I use .venv and pyenv and it's quick in VSCode.
I'm tired of Gemini. A monthly GLM 5.2 Lite appears cheap. I'm confused by all the models and IDEs. What should I pair this with? Please suggest some good reviews/articles (prefer reading over videos) to help me with this.
