Not sure why you think that’s meagre. > edge case It’s not an edge case but it is valid to say that the pattern of development is different. You’re right that people need feedback that what they’re doing is right within 1-2 seconds. They are getting that thanks to the IDE. They need their tests to compile and run within a few seconds, and they’re getting close to that. I’m not disagreeing with you. In an ideal world all builds and tests would run within 2 seconds, like you’re suggesting. And yet, people are managing to ship software successfully, despite it taking more than 2 seconds. That suggests that maybe this 2 second thing isn’t a requirement and more of a nice to have. And that maybe, there is something to people relying on IDE feedback while coding.
