Lightning Talk: C++ Builds: Time to Slow Down
summary
C++20 Modules cut build time to about half, and the talk argues for deliberately slowing releases to preserve human slack and safety. It lists concrete levers: use CMake and compiler flags to control module granularity and dependency boundaries, limit CI minutes and even enable Windows Defender to reintroduce CreateProcess delays (Chrome builds see ~14 minutes lost), plus generating build traces and per-compiler knobs to tune compile and pipeline latency.
