What are the most useful curl opts for debugging and performance? or How do you optimize your request

Wow, so many gems here! Gonna steal that `-K` trick for sure—config files sound way better than typing opts every time.

And `--fail` is going straight into my scripts. Can’t believe I’ve been ignoring it.

Quick Q: Anyone use `--path-as-is`? Heard it’s handy for weird URLs but never tried.

Also, +1 for `jq`. Already use it, but glad others swear by it too.

Cheers for the tips, folks!
