What are some common build optimization techniques?

Common build optimization techniques include incremental builds, parallel builds, and caching dependencies.

Can you explain how incremental builds work?

Incremental builds only compile the parts of the code that have changed, reducing build time significantly.

What is the benefit of using parallel builds?

Parallel builds utilize multiple cores to compile different parts of the project simultaneously, speeding up the process.

How does caching dependencies help in build optimization?

Caching dependencies stores previously downloaded libraries, so they don't need to be fetched again, saving time.
