From experience with a problematic build system, the compile time is unbearable when it exceeds the number of hours in a day. Each automated nightly build is started before the previous one has finished. This overloads the machine, making the builds take even longer. You have to switch to weekly builds.
It's not all bad. It trains you to think carefully, producing code that compiles correctly on the first try. You learn to write bug-free code.
- photawe 7y agoYeah, I'm with you on that one. However, in the last few years, I've been working on UI code - and that is very very different (IMO). Developing a complicated UI control will require lots of small changes, which each trigger a new compilation. And if that compilation takes 45-90 seconds, it kinda' kills the mojo :)
