Improve build times for a medium-sized team working on one project?
- If it's not a release build that needs to be verified-good, consider using `mold` to link your builds and test binaries: https://github.com/rui314/mold --- it is much faster than lld or gold. For mac users there is https://github.com/michaeleisel/zld but mostly if you care about build times you need to get off macOS somehow.
