what are you using for this? one thing I can't wrap my head around is how anyone's idea of fun is poking at an LLM until it generates something possibly passable and then figuring what the hell it did and why, but this sounds like something i'd actually use.

Yes. Vscode/Copilot/Claude Sonnet 4. The choice of AI may make a significant difference. It used to. The GPT AIs, particularly, were useless. I haven't tried GPT 4.1 yet.
vscode?
vscode comes with that out of the box?
pretty much, the plugin is called Copilot. click a button and install it
that's a whole different piece of software that it doesn't come with out of the box lol.

Copilot was what i was looking for, thank you. I have it installed in Webstorm already but I haven't messed with this side of it.

idk i click 'copilot' and it adds it. it took maybe 2 minutes.
And if you don't add it, VSCode nags you incessantly until you do. :-P
