Yeah, I use IntelliJ with the chat sidebar. I don't use autocomplete, except in trivial cases where I need to write boilerplate code. Other than that, when I need help, I ask the LLM and then write the code based on its response.

I'm sure it's initially slower than vibe-coding the whole thing, but at least I end up with a maintainable code base, and I know how it works and how to extend it in the future.
