- do you code functions in the repl and copy them to respective files?

I use Emacs/CIDER and code functions in a file, then use C-M-x to evaluate each 
one into the running REPL. I usually keep the REPL in the user namespace and 
require in the namespace I’m working on (C-c C-z to jump to the REPL as needed) 
and then type in expressions to test functions as I go. Later I’ll take a 
transcript of parts of the REPL and add them to my unit test namespace — 
usually just copy’n’paste, followed by some minor edits to turn them into 
Expectations format: (expect {expected} {actual}) which means using C-M-t to 
swap REPL output which has:

user> (some test expression)
{the actual output}

=>

(expect {the actual output}
        (some test expression))

Put the cursor after the prompt: user>| then M-delete, type (expect) and slurp 
twice M-) then forward one s-exp C-M-f and swap C-M-t

- do you edit files directly and hook them into the repl?

Yes, but I don’t save them every time since I can use C-M-x to evaluate the 
current form as I type.

- how do you set breakpoints?

I don’t bother. I’ve never liked step debuggers in any language in my 30+ years 
of development :(

- can you do hot-replacement easily? I always see a bunch of stack traces while 
using lein and ring with reload flags

If I want to hot-swap into a running process, I just start a REPL server inside 
the process and connect CIDER to that, instead of starting a standalone REPL in 
Emacs. I tend to use standalone REPLs only for running Expectations anyway 
(where I use a slightly different workflow and keep the REPL in the same 
namespace as the Expectations file (C-c M-n to swap REPL namespaces).

- is there an article or screencast explaining the "feel" of this?

I don’t know, sorry.
