Incredibuild is the company blog at incredibuild.com, writing about programming and systems. Since 2013, 17 different Hacker News readers have linked it 27 times, most often “Speed up Computational Processes and Builds by up to x20”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-29, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (10) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters mostly name Incredibuild as a distributed build tool for speeding up C++ builds, or link its product pages and blog. The comments do not discuss the writing itself.

HN discussionTrue. In addition, builds can sometimes be slow on MSBuild. Of course, if you're interested in cross platform development Visual Studio 2015 provides some great new features. Additionally, coupled with IncrediBuild ( https://www.incredibuild.com/cross-platform.html ) you can get some blazing fast builds

HN discussionHonestly the format looks a bit over-engineered IMHO. The task is quite simple: make build system that executes jobs on clusters. So why not get best build configuration format practices and just make them run over network?

HN discussionKudos! Cool idea, I'm on the same path you are, yet you're just one step ahead. For mouse.dev, what are you using for the cloud agent sandbox piece? I haven't moved my agents to the cloud yet (for on the go mobile enablement). Would Islo be a competitor to mouse? https://islo.dev/ https://www.incredibuild.com/blog/why-we-built-islo-ai-codin...
