Yeah even with a large C++ codebase, any decent IDE will flag errors very quickly in real time. I dunno, I've never found that waiting a minute to run a test or whatever is particularly detrimental to my workflow.

I understand the benefits of super fast iteration if you're tweaking a GUI layout or something, but for the most part I'd prioritize many many other features first.

Fast compilation + unit tests allows me to quickly check if I broke a lot more stuff than IDE local checks.
