I do also have the Test Explorer sidebar set up, and the gutter icon for running tests. And these work. But they seem to do a full clean build first, which takes minutes just to run a single test.
How do I get these working efficiently? So I can press the sidebar play button and run the test?

I've currently got VSCode set up with the "Run Test" and "Debug" actions above the test method itself, and they work well enough. But I need to be directly on that test to be able to run it. Which means if I'm changing related code elsewhere, then it's hard to run e.g. full-stack integration tests.

It's engrained in me from the days before centralised social media -e from hanging out on (and hosting) various phpBB or YABB or similar sites - that a set of initials ending "BB" is likely a bulletin board system.

Normally, YouTube ads are unskippable for 10-15 seconds. Sometimes it goes up to 20-30 seconds. And sometimes only 5 seconds.
Today, they're all 50+seconds!

I've just seen this on Reddit.
Obviously the reply is absolutely on point.
But I can't get past the fact that they are *proud* of the efficiency with which they can build concentration camps...
And the fact that the only thing stopping them building them even faster is red tape...

Just playing around, I thought I'd give v0 a go, see if it's any better now.
The answer would seem to be No. At least as far as actually doing what's asked of it.
