I once worked on a project in 6502 assembler where my turnaround time was about three seconds from build-to-run. It was absolutely magical. Compare that to an environment I was in a few years back where I was lucky to get two builds a day. Sometimes went weeks without working code because people kept checking in busted stuff. I wound up quitting (for that, and other reasons). It is amazing how companies will pay high salaries for engineers, and then refuse to buy them top of the line equipment, too. I remember fighting for SSDs, when the time savings alone would have paid for itself in a couple of days. Crazy.
