How have you setup your plugin development workflow?

I’m tinkering with some plugin development in a local docker dev environment. I `d/boot_dev --init` and can run my plugin. The issue is when I make a change to the plugin code, the only way I see my changes is to `d/shutdown_dev` then `d/boot_dev --init` again. That is painfully slow :sadpanda:

**Is there a better way that speeds up my edit \> test \> edit again change cycle?**
