> If you've ever worked on a project with a 40 minute build

I've worked on plenty of C++ code based that had a 2 day build time!

If you were lucky, incremental builds only took a few hours.

I wander what these projects do wrong. Can't they be split into different dynamically loaded libraries with just the headers exposed?
I remember hearing that Microsoft was excited to get full NT builds below 24 hours.
Windows Mobile and Office is where I did my time. :D
