It’s not hugely different than working with a new project in a fancy IDE, once you figure out adding generated sources, aiming the tools at the right config files if everything’s not in the root, etc. If you’re lucky they’ve set up a docker-compose.yml to get started with, otherwise you have a couple hours work ahead. It’s a one-time cost you don’t have to pay again unless you wipe and clone the project from scratch. I vastly prefer IntelliJ, but project setup on vscode has never been a major speed bump in my shop.
