Slow builds can definitely break concentration. I'm on a dual core as well, although most new business laptops come with 4 cores.
My build times aren't as long, because I'm working with Java-based microservices, so each service takes a minute or so to build (with tests) but even that delay can break concentration. Turning off tests helps, but then you don't always have the immediate feedback of the test results (and don't worry, I always run the tests before committing).
- arcticfox 7y agoA little off topic, but what does your microservice build with tests look like? Trying to figure out what I need to do if I want to try microservices correctly...
- pjmlp 7y agoI used to be happy with Java and .NET builds, until I got to deal with Android builds. Android is probably the only platform that in almost every conference has at least one talk related to how to improve build speed, thanks Gradle + Android Studio.
- tracker1 7y agoI worked on a codebase a few years ago that took over 44 minutes to compile... a change you would think should take 10 minutes took 3 days. RSS was still a big thing at the time, and did a LOT of reading while waiting.
