I'm very much an interactive learner. Following aa article or youtube tutorial can be frustrating when something goes wrong locally but it's not covered in the material. Then your flow is broken by googling how you can best describe what you think your issue is.
I didn't use VScode or copilot integrations- I was literally just copying and pasting code snippets or errors into the browser ChatGPT. It would suggest code changes back, if ChatGPT only gave me a snippet but I wanted the full file I could just ask.
I understand at some level that it's still just an extremely sophisticated interface but it genuinely feels like magic/sentience. You're not contorted to what you think the limitations of 'how the thing likes to be instructed' like voice commands or Siri. You just talk freely about what you're trying to achieve, show it code and explain in plain language what you think has gone wrong or even that you have no idea why something doesn't work- it just teaches you how to debug.
You should dive in!

Going to try Codeium for VSCode, started a UI in figma... Figma has an AI build-with-buddy, about to dive in on that. (it already suggested a really crappy AI, but it got the idea of WaterMe! just from starting with that prompt, it go the basic gist - which should be obvious, but it was still impressive: https://i.imgur.com/LrHn9gA.png

"Take a deep breath."
"Let's step back for a second."
I've also found that it's far more beneficial telling it what you want versus what you don't want.
