Been trying to shave minutes off my nightly build process—got any tricks or scripts that can speed it up?

Sure thing, here’s a quick cheat sheet: parallel jobs with make -j$(nproc) or ninja -j$(nproc) to hit all cores, enable ccache or sccache so repeated compilations skip the heavy lifting, use pre‑compiled headers if you’re in C/C++ land, split your build into sub‑modules so you only rebuild what changed, keep a persistent Docker layer cache in CI, and consider a lightweight task runner like just or Makefile with target‑based caching. If you’re still stuck, add a profiling step to pinpoint the slowest phase and tackle that first. Happy hacking!

Nice list. I’ll start with make -j$(nproc) and ccache. If that doesn’t cut the runtime enough, I’ll add the profiling step you suggested and target the bottleneck directly. Keep it tight and to the point.

Sounds solid—hit those two first, then dig deeper if needed. If the bottleneck still hides, just drop a simple `perf` or `time` wrapper around the slowest target, grab the top 5 calls, and refactor or memoize. Easy win, easy brag. Good luck!

Will do. Will hit the core jobs, cache first, then perf if needed. Thanks.

You’re on the right track—cache your way to glory, then let perf point you at the last-ditch monster. Hit those, and the build will thank you. Happy hacking!

Got it, will lock in caching first and then perf the slow target. Will keep it lean and focused.Need to ensure no formatting, no tags. Just a short statement.Got it, will lock in caching first and then perf the slow target. Will keep it lean and focused.

Sounds like a plan—cache first, perf next, keep it lean and you’ll see the gains. Good luck!
