I’m genuinely curious what simple site would cause a 30+ minute build? Is it just one of those things that grow over time?
- throwaway894345 5y agoI wasn’t a frontend developer, so I’m not familiar with the details, but it seemed to be pretty slow from the start, but compounded as our app grew in size. I.e., there was some large coefficient associated with our web pack configuration.
- qudat 5y agoHow large was the bundle at the end? I'm not going to claim that webpack is fast for large applications, but I've never seen a build take longer than 3 minutes and this is for applications where our own source code was at the MB scale.
