> incremental builds I've found that to not matter that much these days - unless your projects is hundreds of thousands (or maybe millions even) of LOC, full builds are instant on modern machines.

That's definitely not true for: - Most C++ or Rust projects - Medium size or larger C projects - Anything which is built with tools written in JavaScript (due to Node startup time overhead) Stuff where a full build is close enough to instant: - Most Java, C#, Go projects - Small C projects - Tiny/trivial C++ or Rust programs, or C++ programs written for embedded systems This is just my experience. YMMV.

  any sizeable rust or c++ project is gonna take a while to compile in my experience? I tend to break things off into libraries that are faster to compile. Some of my coworkers don't like it but they learn to deal (c++)

    > I tend to break things off into libraries that are faster to compile. Yes, exactly. Incremental compilation! This is what Make is not good at.

With python or bash. Certainly not with c++

Unless your modern machine isn’t very powerful because you value food and rent more.
