I envy them. A clean compile on the codebase I'm working on takes over 2 hours.

  Reminds me of Haskell. Grass is always greener I guess :)

  If you wait 2 hours, you are Doing It Wrong. It will take you less than 2 hours to fix your build.

    That's not true. If it were that easy the builds would be quicker. My last project was 2 hours clean build on CI. I spent a week optimising it and got it down to 90 minutes, and within 2 months it was back up to to 2 hours again. Entropy is real!

      Eternal vigilance is the price of a fast build!

    Ingo Molnar spent a year trying to improve build times for the Linux kernel [0] And that was for C, which is relatively straightforward compared to c++. I suspect it would take months to sort out the project I am on now, and even then full builds would still be slow. To suggest it could be fixed in hours is ignorance. 0: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YdIfz+LMewetSaEB@gmail.com/T/#u https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YdIfz+LMewetSaEB@gmail.com/T/#u
