How to set up intellisense in VS Code for a s&box project

because it is incredibly frustrating

I've been having fun with the s&box game engine by Face Punch

While there have been many improvements things are still somewhat immature and there isn't much documentation on how to get things working as you want for your dev environment so I'm documenting it here.

Then in VSCode, specifically open the code folder, not the project folder

so for me my path is ~\repos\sandbox-farming-game\code where sandbox-farming-game is my project folder

Hope this helps. It will probably break in future but good luck.
