Depends on your use case Neo!!! You need to test the agent first..then you can decide. btw thanks for reading!!

You are welcome! It was very interesting to read!!!!! Exactly what i was looking for! Can I tell you about me? (Stupid question i know) i am not a developer and i never studied coding etc. BUT i love coding. And sonetimes its difficult to understand how it works, but i dont care…, I do it anyway! Thats why i use (need) AI to develope projects to learn. I used gemini cli that was nice! I have GPT Plus and i use the MCP Superassistand Plugin with ChatGPT, thats also nice, BUT i would like to code in VS Code to learn more. My Problem i dont want to pay again for Copilot! By the way at the moment i am installing n8n open source on a self hosted server….sorry for so much information.

I have a workflow set up where Gemini CLI and PyCharm (or another IDE) are running simultaneously. Gemini generates the code while I monitor its work in real-time through the IDE.
I use Git as a safety net — if something goes wrong, I simply do a rollback and return to the working state.
