Do you have problems with long build times? How do you mitigate them?
I want those. Why would devs not want fast build times and incremental compilation through caching?
Ye gods. And I thought build times were long enough already!
If your build time or test runtime takes 30 minutes I'd argue your problem won't be solved by faster hardware.
Your build time is someone else’s runtime.
What are you doing where a build takes that long (and can't be done incrementally)?
I suspect your projects don’t take a while to build ;)
Who needs to "iterate" so quickly that several minutes added to your build time becomes a huge issue?
8. What does blazingly-fast build times mean quantitatively? How does it scale with project size?
Build times should be better no ? Unless you have enough ram to keep it all im cache ?
