> I don't understand this. Developer time is so much more expensive than machine time. Do companies not just double their CI workers after hearing people complain?
They don’t, and it’s annoying. Oh some do for sure but it’s the same with developer hardware. I’ve worked places where developers are waiting 4+ minutes for a build to complete when that could be halved or more by better developer hardware but companies are sometimes incredibly “penny wise and pound foolish”.
