Don't Make Me Think—Ways to Make Dev's Life Easier

A programmer's job is not just writing code. It's also writing tests, reading code, talking to other programmers, communicating ideas, and understanding other people's designs. On top of that, there are dozens of messages, bugs, and endless little things that need to be done. Create a branch, make changes, commit, add tests, commit, correct formatting, commit, add error handling and logging, commit, pull request, merge, manual testing. What if some of this could be made more efficient? A bit of good practice and automation can be the difference.
