Where does the article say "99% of the entire build was spent downloading code"?
- colechristensen 6y agoIt quotes a jenkins job going from 40 minutes to 30 seconds.
- shawabawa3 6y agoThey say "Cloning our largest repo, Pinboard, went from 40 minutes to 30 seconds" Presumably the build does more than just clone
- Dylan16807 6y agoThe title. If they reduced the build time by that much, then at least that much of the build time must have been spent downloading code. If the title is a lie (which it probably is), then nevermind that number, but it's clear where it came from.
- mcherm 6y agoThe text of the article clearly states that clone time was reduced by 99%. The only way build time could have been reduced by 99% is if every part of the build other than cloning is negligible. It is far more plausible to assume that the title is simply wrong.
