I did post it in programmer humor, figured that would be a bit of a give away :)

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any doubt tht Linux traffic is going up, just might not be as high as it initially looks.

I have some bad news https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/08/03/linux-didnt-just-eat-10-of-windows-market-share-ai-bots-are-inflating-the-numbers/

I mean that’s exactly what it is, there’s even a term for it now: scaremarketing.

lol basically

It’s a Js runtime that’s a popular alternative to node.js

there’s never enough time sadly 😢

that would be amazing

there’s a serious nostalgia vibe to it, reminds us of simpler times :)

yeah that’s a perfect analogy actually

I mean that’s already happening. Less than half of the proposed ones is being built, and once the bubble pops I don’t think even the ones that are currently being started will get finished.

yeah, if I find any dramatic improvement I’ll follow up

Or maybe your architecture evolves over time as it actually does in real world large projects. Sounds like somebody’s never worked on a large long running project before.

Nowhere did I say there’s no reasonable architecture. Please don’t put words in my mouth. What I said, is that I haven’t found a good way to get quick compiles end to end. And already I don’t have any files more than 3-4k loc, most are under 1k.

thanks will see what happens

I’ve tried looking before and couldn’t get a significant improvement. I’ll have to investigate it again I guess.

for 100k loc?

No, I’m not using --release every time of course. And sometimes it’s minutes even with the cache.
