Trying something new, going to pin this thread as a place for beginners to ask what may or may not be stupid questions, to encourage both the asking and answering.

Depending on activity level I'll either make a new one once in awhile or I'll just leave this one up forever to be a place to learn and ask.

When asking a question, try to make it clear what your current knowledge level is and where you may have gaps, should help people provide more useful concise answers!

I've had decent results with continue, it's similar to copilot and actually works decently with local models lately:

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and the diff view is very good. The setup was not really easy for my local models, but after i set it up, it was really fast. The biggest problem with the tool is that the open source models are not that good, i tried if it could fix a bug in my code and it was only able to make it worse. On a more positive note, you at least do not need to copy all text over to another window and it is great for generating boilerplate code nearly flawlessly every time.

Yeah definitely need to still understand the open source limits, they're getting pretty dam good at generating code but their comprehension isn't quite there, I think the ideal is eventually having 2 models, one that determines the problem and what the solution would be, and another that generates the code, so that things like "fix this bug" or more vague questions like "how do I start writing this app" would be more successful
