Answer 1

yes it can be faster by following steps :

1. Change in your js/css file in app directory
2. Now Delete the file form pub/static folder

you can find the file in pub static by following command

find pub/static -iname yourjsfile.js

3. remove only that file in which you have changes from pub/static folder
4. make sure that pub/static.htaccess file & pub/static.php file is there
5. assign file write permissions to pub folder
6. now hit the URL in browser .htaccess will directly deploy missing js file

.htaccess in pub/static send the missing files to pub/static.php with parameter resource and pub/static.php file creates an StaticResource for the file if available and deploy that.

Note: this only works with apache mod_rewrite

For Nginx you need to configure the same via nginx.conf.sample
