Faster tools doing the same stateless work isn't architectural progress, it's a treadmill, and the real issue is amnesia in build processes

intermediate Published 26 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify the bottlenecks in your current build process
  2. Analyze the reprocessing of modules and its impact on throughput
  3. Explore alternative architectures that address amnesia in build processes
  4. Implement caching or incremental build techniques to improve efficiency
  5. Evaluate the trade-offs between speed and intelligence in your build tools
Who Needs to Know This

Developers and architects can benefit from understanding the limitations of current build processes and the need for more efficient and intelligent systems, as it affects the overall productivity and scalability of their projects

Key Insight

💡 The real issue in build processes is not throughput, but amnesia, and addressing it requires a fundamental shift in how we approach build tooling
