Demystifying fast up-to-date check in Visual Studio C# projects

Fast up-to-date check was created in an attempt to mitigate performance issues with incremental builds in MSBUILD. Indeed if you have many projects it would take considerable amount of time to evaluate each of them and check timestamps on all input and output files. Instead Microsoft decided to implement a simplified version of these checks that would run faster without involving MSBUILD engine. As a result this "feature" only works with "native" targets and if you have any kind of customization where external inputs or outputs are used then you'll have "misfires" sometimes. Below is some information I was able to figure out that can help you mitigate those issues. It's based on my own investigation therefore it may be not accurate enough.

Or in many cases people using those buzz words have little to no idea where the problem is. They don't realize that the majority of the issues in software are due to stupid things like copy-paste, over-engineering and lack of automation. And microservices and other buzz words are not going to fix that.
