In v12 we're hoping to ship Rewatch, ReScript's new build system, made by Jaap and Roland. Below is compiling a 375k LoC repo using the current build system vs Rewatch. 1. Current build system: 33.8s 2. Rewatch: 12.27s Speedup by a factor of 2.75 (!) in this example.

EU’s odd love for regulation will make it increasingly infeasible to share free gifts with EU citizens.

We built Linear to show there's a way for software engineers to feel satisfaction with and control over their work. Of course, that starts with us and how we build products, so we shared how we think about building at Linear with @lennysan today lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-linear-b…
