Have you ever experienced a sudden spike in your build time, where it becomes several times longer than usual? I'm really looking for effective ways to diagnose this without using AI tools. I think a good start would be to have a breakdown of each file showing its name, path, and build duration—it might help narrow down the issue. I'm eager to gather your thoughts on what metrics could be helpful and how they can assist in identifying the bottleneck.

I'd say using `git bisect` is a great first step for troubleshooting build problems. It can help you pinpoint the exact commit where everything went wrong, making it easier to identify the source of the issue.
One great method is to attach a profiler to the process that’s taking a long time. It can help you see what parts of your build are consuming the most time. You might want to check it out if you haven't already!
Wait, there's actually such a thing as a profiler? I didn't know! I've always just been tweaking my code manually a bit at a time to try and speed things up. Do you have any recommendations for good profiling tools? I've been using some AI recently, but the free versions don't meet my performance needs.
Honestly, I struggle with Git... My skills really only cover basic commands like npm install and running dev. I have no clue how to commit!
