There is a cut off period though. In my current role there is one project that takes 15 minutes to clean build, and another 15 minutes to run the test suite. Incremental builds are fast, but sometimes/often the compiler decides it needs to rebuild everything. Additionally for some reason on my machine, maybe 25% of the time it gets stuck while building and I need to kill it and start again. Usually I go and get coffee while it's building, but there's only so much coffee or Reddit you can drink. Many times I've taken a 30 minute break while it builds and tests, then come back to find it got stuck and need to start again. Anytime I have to work on this project I try to put it off as much as possible, as I know it's going to be painful...
