Builds, the Simulator and coding agents: what we learn while building Quickfire, written up so you can use it on your own project today.

  1. How a coding agent should see and drive the Simulator

    What we learned benchmarking every way an agent can tap, read and screenshot an app in the Simulator, from command-line tools to an in-app helper, and the setup we'd recommend.

  2. How to read your build timeline and find what's slow

    A practical guide to measuring a slow build, from the activity bar to the timing summary and the build timeline, and what each slow pattern usually means.

  3. Why a one-line change rebuilds so much of a big app

    Where the time goes when you change one line in a large app and hit build, and what you can do about each part today.

  4. Your coding agent spends its day waiting on builds

    Coding agents rebuild after nearly every change. Seven setup changes that make each build shorter, cheaper to read and less likely to start from zero.
