Developers can adjust their work style to accommodate a slow build process to some extent just by batching multiple changes into each build. I'm retired now but I never found a better way to work than keeping a notebook full of one-line problem statements created as bugs were found. Typically I would fix several of these then compile and test. That said my last employer a large networking company had power laptops standard for devs and normal laptops for everyone else.
