So one really big thing that can make the AI autocomplete super useful is to follow the old method from "Code Complete", Pseudocode Programming Process (PPP). Write a comment first on what you intend to do, then the AI generally does a good job auto-completing below it. I mean you don't have to "sketch everything out", but just that the AI is using the page as context and the comment just helps disambiguate what you want to do and it can autocomplete significant portions when you give it a nudge with the comment. I've almost fully converted to agentic coding, but when I was using earlier tools, this was an extremely simple method to get completions to speed you up instead of slow you down.
