> So you took the wrong lesson entirely? No, you just have poor reading comprehension and poor understanding of the problem. > The real lesson from it would seem to me to be your first thoughts on what steps to do first in your build may be wrong. If you list the targets "a b c d e f" in make, then you can move 'f' into the front if it is very slow. If you use something like CMake, or another generator, you will lose control over this ordering, and it isn't always clear how to recover it in a non-fragile way. And yes, Shake has profiling tools. That's how I found out what the critical path is and why Shake was better at this path. > Non-determinism can be handy for discovering new things about what you're dealing with, nut once you've got it; for heaven sake, lock it in. Lol. Bad reading comprehension. Please don't bother commenting on things if you literally have no idea what you're talking about. I realize that's a big ask on this site (where shooting your mouth off and trying to sound smart is more valuable than being smart) but you'll waste less time with it. Thanks.
