Compilation time turns into cognitive load via frustration. Death by a thousand cuts.

How 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).

(compilation time is good for brain switch off time - i.e. reducing cognitive load).

		I 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.
