There are couple of things we should concentrate on: - Using co-pilot as much as possible not only for writing code but for writing test cases as well. - Ask co-pilot to review the code. - Most importantly write as many unit tests as possible. One can’t do it until code is modular. - Peer programming is one thing which could help reduce multiple review cycles.

When deadlines are tight, keeping code quality high is crucial. I rely on quick code reviews and stick to consistent coding standards.

Use branches in git (or other source code control system) intelligently to separate urgent fixes and work on strict deadlines from less urgent work that is still of long term importance and will increase overall codebase quality, and work on new features. And use CI/CD not just to automate tests, but also for linting, formatting and other code quality and consistency tools.

In addition to the points already mentioned, it's also good to agree on and document linting configurations and integrate automated code linting into your IDEs and CI pipeline.

The key to the speed of development lies in its quality. Higher-quality code works stably and is easier to maintain. There are a few simple rules to reduce risks with tight deadlines: 1. Highlight critical functionality. These modules require both automatic verification (autotests, CI) and verification by experienced developers. 2. Automate code style verification. 3. Regular code review. And remember: haste always leads to mistakes.
