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

I’m a `-X POST` kinda person, but `-F` for multipart/form-data is my dark horse. Upload files like a boss.

Also, `--connect-timeout 3` because waiting 30s for a connection is torture.

And `-A "Mozilla/5.0"` when sites block curl’s default UA. Sneaky sneaky.

For JSON, `jq` is the real MVP. Pipe curl to `jq` and suddenly life makes sense.
