Today's flow investment: wrapper for expo run:android which automatically kills the server once the release mode build has complete so my e2e tests can start immediately rather than waiting on manual intervention. #Expo

Mostly only saves a few minutes... but several times a week will save me the dreaded "doh forgot to start the tests!"-moment that comes if I'm distracted at the exact wrong moment. The tests runs themselves already send desktop notifications on pass/fail for a long while for the same reason.

The wrapper script was written trivially by DeepSeek R1 in a 45 minute session from concept to working script. Amusingly it refused entirely to listen to my suggestion to use a lower level language requiring a build step and simply wrote it in bash. Wise. At least know I know what mkfifo is for.
