If you work with compiled languages, having good hardware is a real quality of life improvement.
- dima55 4y agoDepends strongly on the language and what you're compiling. C++ builds are glacial on any hardware. Plain C is usually just fine. I'm using a T430 and T61, and my life is great.
- sshine 4y agoRust and Haskell take time. I haven't tried C++. I have a 2021 M1 and a Linux laptop with a i7-11700 desktop CPU. And compiling takes shorter on my computers than a lot of other computers.
- pantalaimon 4y agoI work mostly with C on embedded targets where build times are not really an issue. If I have to build a Linux kernel, that's a different story.
