What funny timing! Just this week I've actually been working on an open source VS Code extension that uses OpenAI's new code edit API[1] to let you write or edit code in your IDE by typing instructions.
And as a bonus related to the article title, it literally lets you talk to your editor (ie you can press the keyboard shortcut and then give edit commands by voice[2]). I've been leaning on it heavily for the last few days and the setup feels really productive!
[2]: I just wrote the voice command interface yesterday and it's still highly experimental. Relies on having ffmpeg installed on MacOS and doesn't work with all audio setups yet. But there's a clear path to making it more robust.

If you want to try it out you can install it here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=clippy-a...
You can also find the full source code here: https://github.com/corbt/clippy-ai/tree/main/vs-code-extensi...
I'd love feedback!
