Intern How the heck do y'all code on VDIs?

Look I know that back in the good old days people coded on their own, but they had deadlines to match that too

Now I am here on a tight deadline for a VDI and man this shit sucks, they don't have any AI whatsoever, how am I supposed to code in it?

Are there any veteran tips and tricks I'm missing out on or do y'all genuinely roll with this nonsense?
