TIL that Stack Exchange share links include your user ID if you're logged in. :o
Apparently that's been the case since at least 2011: https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/74274
Since 2016, they at least include the very small hint: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/338835
I often use the share button to link to individual answers but have never noticed that. How often have I accidentally leaked my Stack Overflow profile without noticing? Who expects that?
Very not cool, Stack Exchange!

Our website is a static site, which means that we have to rebuild the entire site for every change. We are using Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) as our SSG, which is _really_ fast. But due to the large number of pages on our site, we've managed to make our Hugo build take quite a while.
I took a stab at optimizing this and managed to cut the build time almost in half with a few fairly simple changes. Let's take a look at how I did that.
