Ever wondered how to squeeze the most out of a 24‑hour sprint without letting the code break? I’ve got a few duct‑tapeless tricks that might align with your push‑hard vibe.

Okay, keep it tight and keep the bugs at bay. First, every function you write should have a unit test that runs before you commit. A tiny test, just one line, keeps the whole module honest. Second, never rely on a single machine. Spin up a container or a VM that matches your prod environment and run the tests there. Third, use a proper version control workflow—branch for each feature, pull request for review, even if you’re the only dev. That forces you to look at the code twice and catches things early. Fourth, log everything that matters, but do it in a structured way—json logs that a script can read and summarize. Finally, put a watchdog in place: if a function throws, the process restarts automatically, so the system stays alive while you fix the code. That’s how you survive without duct tape.

Sounds like you’re about to go full‑tilt, no cap. Just remember: if you try to squeeze every microsecond out, the watchdog will start watching you more than you watch it. Keep your build fast, keep your tests small, keep the clock in the corner. The extra hours come from not breaking things. Let’s keep the code lean and the coffee flowing.
