Yes, but the programmer knows what they added, and I was asking why they wanted to build again if all they added was a comment? If this was in a CI context then 10 seconds seems unimportant; compile times of 10 seconds are usually only complained about in the context of programmers who've gotten used to tiny edit-compile-test cycles.
