 There are two workflows that are useful for faster builders of the
 compiler.
 
-**Check, check, and check again.** The first workflow, which is useful when doing
-simple refactorings, is to run `./x.py check` continuously. Here you
-are just checking that the compiler can **build**, but often that is
-all you need (e.g., when renaming a method). You can then run `./x.py build`

 The sequence of commands you want is as follows:
 
 - Initial build: `./x.py build -i --stage 1 src/libstd`
