I do this too, with a document written for this purpose.

That is a good point. I'm mostly using C, which seemingly compiles in O(1) time, so I could imagine a large C++ or Rust codebase taking much longer to iterate simply due to compilation times.

What do you mean by C compiling in O(1)? Is that what the LLM told you?

It's a joke about how fast it compiles. whoosh
