I guess I just don't see how much easier it can get than to kill a process, start it, and test. These are all solutions to non-problems. My control-C + up arrow motion is hammered down after years of practice.
- BigJono 8y agoYeah, same as Ctrl-Shift-R in the browser for me. Even when I'm running a hot reloading server on my project I'll start off pretty much every manual test with a hard refresh because it's so trivial that it's easier than dealing with the 1/500 chance of something going weirdly wrong with the hot reloading and being difficult to debug.
- joevandyk 8y agoEasier: Save a file, see the result instantly. In a browser, terminal, etc. Using live reload, auto test, Rails class reloading, and so on.

- pdpi 8y agoDeveloper ergonomics are made of an accumulation of small things like this.
- wastedhours 8y agoSame for me - I even do it for things that don't really need a server restart to take effect, just because it's an ultra-quick reflex. It's a non-issue really.
