#testing

I've been working on a project where I'm constantly tweaking and testing my embedded system's firmware. I find myself reflashing the firmware almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day. This got me thinking... is this a normal part of the development process? Do others reflash their firmware as frequently as I do? I'm using a pretty standard setup, with a microcontroller and a boot loader, but I'm starting to wonder if there's a more efficient way to do things. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I don't want to burn out my hardware prematurely. So, how often do you guys reflash your firmware??

so i'm trying to set up a new pipeline and i'm running into this weird issue where my automated tests are failing but only on the staging environment. locally everything works fine. i've checked the config files and they're identical. anyone else have this problem? feels like i'm going crazy
