It would be interesting to see what would be good input for LLMs to do the optimizations / trials on that automatically. Is the visual representation best or something else?

It's actually trivially easy to add a "automated report" feature to buildprof due to its architecture (just a few SQL queries on top of Perfetto's trace processor). And I'm sure AI could hill climb the build time based on this.

But I still think the visual view is invaluable for human understanding and for the "why is this even happening" problems which I think AI is still bad at seeing.

This is just how hacker news is now, huh?
