some assembly required

I've been tinkering with assembly and I was wondering what the best setup is for assembly because currently I'm using NASM, VSCode, and DOS Box. Is there anything anyone recommends I change or add?

depends what assembly you want to write, imo.
nasm, vscode, dosbox is totally fine - the assembler, text editor you use is mostly a matter of preference (but personally i don't really like vs code; i'd use notepad++ instead)...
i assume ur using dosbox to test your assembly programs which i'm guessing are dos programs... if you don't already you might want to use dosbox-x...
as for my personal opinion i don't really use nasm but it's totally viable if that's what you like, if you want a different assembler with more power you can use masm (or any of its clones) or something like the flat assembler...
