It's really satisfying to use a profiler for the first time on a project. I always find a big performance win with only a small code change. It's never the code that I expected to be slow, however!

I've been compilation buffers in Emacs recently and I really appreciate the error and warning counts shown in the modeline. I've added the equivalent feature to deadgrep: it shows result counts! Really useful when you're doing big refactorings. https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep

I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down. It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs. Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.
