How to Increase Coding Iteration Speed

Increasing programming iteration speed is critical for efficient development, and this can be achieved by running code locally. The process involves replicating the production environment on a local machine, for instance, by building and running Docker images. AI coding agents like Cursor can be prompted to automatically generate the shell scripts needed for this local testing setup. For even greater efficiency, these testing scripts can be integrated into pre-commit hooks and also be made accessible to the AI agent, allowing it to validate its own code changes automatically.
