And again about softwate development life cycle

Automation for developers is one of the most effective ways to reduce repetitive work, minimize risk of human error, improve software quality, and lower delivery costs. Let's consider the actual coding activity out of scope, as AI is increasingly assisting with software development. Instead, let's focus on automating activities around the development lifecycle. A good starting point is configuring Git hooks on developers' workstations. These hooks can automatically execute lightweight quality checks before code is committed. Typical examples include code formatting (Prettier, Black), linting (ESLint, Pylint), unit tests (Jest, JUnit, PyTest), commit message validation, and secret detection (Gitleaks). The key is to keep these checks fast so they provide immediate feedback without slowing developers down. Once local validations are in place, you should focus on the CI/CD pipelines, which should start immediately after code is pushed to the repository. As a best practice, inc...
