`-i` (include headers in output) is my go-to. Seeing status lines + headers + body together makes debugging way easier.
For auth-heavy stuff, `-u` for basic auth is simple but effective.
And yeah, `-sS` is elite—silent but still yells at you when things break.
Tool rec: `httpie` if you want a more human-friendly curl alternative. Still use curl flags for scripts tho.
