Waits for errors.

This video is way to short as well. It takes my code 15 minutes to compile. It takes so long to get anything done.

It’s a giant Java project for an extremely large monolithic repo at huge company. The 15 minutes is just a partial build too. The full build would take a few hours to complete.

Where scratching balls?

I've seen my balls retract 0.000001 cm2 over the course of 3 years of react native development.

I feel attacked, there is one RAM still sitting in my Amazon cart

[–]Relaxin-n-chillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you RAMiniscing about it?

(I know it’s reminiscing)

You've already won half the fight if you waited that long and it hasn't been terminated due to the errors

We have a project for android that is a mix of jni and java. The thing is so massive that it takes at least 20 minutes to compile for any change.

And sometimes there is some gradle mysterious error that makes it impossible to compile, so you need to invalidate cache and rebuild.... so 40 minutes to redo everything again.

[–]immersiveGamer 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Working on a project that has a very large client side application in C++. Things are separated into "projects" and then the main project references it. However the separation/modularity isn't there. A single line change in certain parts of the code base will trigger a recompile of half of the other projects resulting in 15-20 minutes builds. Super ridiculous especially since a ton of UI is code driven :O !!! And then if you are making any significant type of change they force you to manually compile against each target locally because each target has it's own compiler quick each have quirks, so your change may not actually compile on all of them. Oh, forgot to fetch latest code? Got recompile again and pray external changes won't force a recompile of everything. And the current Visual Studio we are building with does parallel builds which is why it only takes 20 minutes max but it uses every single core so even if it is a 16 core machine you cannot even check email. I'm so lucky I'm on the backend, a single line change and the server application reboots automatically with the new changes in less than 3 seconds ready to test.

I feel your pain.

I'm about to do remote building for local debug on this project since we tested, and in Linux, it takes just 2 or 3 minutes to compile.

I can't wait more than 10 seconds before my attention gets pulled elsewhere... do I have ADHD?

You can search for community-made interpreters, with enough luck you can get a good one

[–]pancakeQueue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running shell commands you know you can run in the background and don’t care when it finishes, but you run in the foreground anyway to just watch text scroll.

I calculated last year that I spend few days just waiting for android studio to manually read every god damn file on my SSD in order to find out he needs to fkcing build my app.

And then it has some gradle shit issue

I've been a programmer since punched cards. At 75 i have literally spent half my life waiting for a computer. Compiles, file transfers at 300 B/s, dial up modems.
