_config.dev.yml

# Local fast-iteration overrides — NOT used for the production / GitHub Pages build.
# Serve with:
#   bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config.yml,_config.dev.yml
#
# Speeds up rebuilds while editing the static chrome (sidebar, home, about,
# categories, pagination) by skipping the large game-project media folders.
# Run a plain `bundle exec jekyll serve` when you need the game-page imagery.
#
# NOTE: we deliberately do NOT set `limit_posts` here — the home page links to a
# specific 2011 post via `{% post_url %}`, which fails to resolve if that post is
# pruned from the build.

# Skips the O(n^2) "related posts" computation in footer.html, which is the
# dominant build cost (it scans every document for every post). Production builds
# leave this unset, so related posts still render on the live site.
