I started using OpenCode with VS Code, and now I can't imagine coding any other way
The coding setup I always wanted.
For months, the author tried various AI coding tools, but none provided a perfect solution. Some were pricey, while others lacked flexibility. Instead of searching for a one-size-fits-all option, they combined two tools they loved: OpenCode and Visual Studio Code. After using this two-step process, they felt confident they couldn't code any other way.
The author tested the workflow by creating a premium e-commerce product page for wireless headphones, starting with DeepSeek in OpenCode and then fine-tuning in VS Code. They found this approach allowed them to experiment with different AI models, build projects efficiently, and control AI spending. Once the core functionality was complete, they moved to VS Code for final adjustments and refinements.
