One thing I’ve done is to think a bit more about how to verify the behaviour of individual components without running the entire thing end-to-end. From there, there is a wealth of tooling to run things automatically for me - unit tests, shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines - so I get feedback as quickly as I can think (which isn’t so fast actually!).
(Almost to embarrassed to ask a question s as simple as this, but here we go...)
I hear a lot about shell scripts and how useful they are, but my expertise in Bash is pretty much limited—know I can pipe cat into vim, basic things like that—could you share some examples of what you can automate with shell scripts that you personally use often?
