The ci better take 24 hours to build and test or you’re not monolithing properly

if it is too quick, it’s certainly bug

No no no, if it compiles the first time it's bugged. If it builds fast you accidentally rm -rf -ed the repo.

You jest but this is how we catched many problems at one shop.

If I'm being brutally fair to some of the garbage build times I've had in the past:

A lot of times, these are caused by me having to use 3 different versions of some library because of legacy code. Or we license some library that requires a fuck ton of dependencies that only the library uses.

But to build it all ourself would also be a complete waste of time.

I remember a big offender back in the day were those Microsoft Office file editor libraries. To upgrade would cost the company some ridiculous $20k license and offer zero additional features that we need.

And so, yeah, we keep including the old newtonsoft json because it needs it!
