I finally made it back home from Madrid, Spain, where the annual 'using std::cpp' conference was held during the past three days!

On day 2, I had my presentation on how to improve build times by concious and judicious use of language features. The slides can be found here, for those who are interested:

Next stop: Croydon (*Kent*, definitely *not* London as I was assured by a well-known person who grew up nearby in Kent).

This is where C++26 is supposed to be finally baked and delivered, to be then put through a decisive taste test.

@DanielaKEngert Hope to catch you live on that at some future conference.
Then I'll need two follow-up talks: "How do I make cmake run its parsing multithreaded" and "How do I convince my manager that build times are more important than shiny new features"
