Hey devs! 
Wanted to share some workflow tips that have seriously cut my development time for FiveM scripts. Whether you're building for ESX, QBCore, or Qbox – these apply to everyone.
Hope this helps someone! Happy to answer questions in the comments.

1. Use AI tools trained on FiveM, not generic ones
Generic AI like ChatGPT often generates code with deprecated methods, wrong event names, or mixed-up frameworks. Look for AI tools specifically built for FiveM. For example,

is trained exclusively on FiveM patterns and supports ESX, QBCore, and ox_lib natively. The difference in output quality is massive.2. Always test with the Resource Monitor
Before deploying any generated or downloaded script, check resmon. Anything above 0.2ms idle should be investigated. AI-generated code can sometimes have unnecessary tick loops – always verify performance.3. Separate your concerns
Keep server-side logic on the server. Never trust the client. This is FiveM 101 but I still see scripts that handle money on the client side. If you're using AI code generation, always verify that sensitive logic stays server-side.4. Integrate AI into your IDE
If you use VS Code, tools like

(open-source) let you connect custom AI endpoints. With an OpenAI-compatible API (like SwisserAI offers), you get FiveM-specific autocomplete right in your editor. No more copy-pasting from a web browser.5. Version control everything
Use Git. Even for small scripts. It costs nothing and saves you when something breaks. GitHub repos also make it easier to share with your team or the community.Hope this helps someone! Happy to answer questions in the comments.
