Ask HN: How much better are AI IDEs vs. copy pasting into chat apps? 1 year ago
I've tried every conceivable combo, and I've settled into using GPT o3 (outside of an IDE to do Deep Research on the tech that I am developing an app with first), then taking that context into VS Code (as markdown), and using Claude Code within VS Code to begin generating component files. I typically stay there until I finish the app, with frequent visits to Claude 3.7 Sonnet (on the website) for more creative inspiration and code snippets when Claude Code gets in a rut.
