    i was thinking more about tooling, most of that stuff didn’t exist as widely as today and you couldn’t really look for it when waiting for a compile either.

      Well…the in-compiler time analysis I think wasn’t as good then, though I recall doing my own ad-hoc profiling, logging time for each unit. But the refactoring stuff should be available.

      I dunno how far back distcc goes.

      checks git repository

      The git log goes back to 2008, so almost 20 years, but it’s also talking about release 3.0 then, so there might have been time outside a VCS or with history that didn’t get imported.

      Wikipedia says that ccache goes back 24 years.
