I second Jeff's point about building with icecream[1]. If you work in an office with a build farm, or near a fast desktop machine you can pass jobs to, this makes laptop builds much more tolerable. Despite the warnings on the mdn page, I do this over the wan as well. It's a lot slower than when I'm in the office, but still a lot faster than a local-only build.
There's also a proposal to pull from the continuous integration build cache[2]. That doesn't work yet though. -r [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Using_Icecream [2] https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/issues/30 On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 3:50 PM, <zbranie...@mozilla.com> wrote: > On Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at 3:24:33 PM UTC-8, Mike Hommey wrote: >> On what OS?
