It depends on what I'm working with.

A huge 100k LoC codebase? I'll happily boot something with an LSP. But it's very annoying and gets in the way. I hate when the context for my keystrokes is an autocomplete window, but it's worth it if I need to call a method with fourty arguments.

But when I'm writing code from scratch, it means I know what I wrote and what I'm using. If I forget, I usually just go back through the code.

Pen and paper is very useful as an extra scratch space.
