Cognitive load is more expensive than compilation time.
- echelon 1y agoCompilation time turns into cognitive load via frustration. Death by a thousand cuts.
- adastra22 1y agoHow long are your compiles? The longest I’ve ever seen is a massive Bevy project with 700 dependencies, and it still compiled in <5min from an empty cache, and then 2-3 second incremental builds (mostly link time).

- echelon 1y agoI find it's great for letting ADHD take over steering the ship and losing total focus on what needs to be done. Which is more or less what this XKCD encapsulates.
