I don't get the initial short build time thing. My prior work project took 15h too build from clean - obviously a nightmare. It was due to bad layout of dependencies and a lot of generation. So it is still important to not mess up.

I care mostly about cached build time. A clean build time of eg. 1h does not bother me.

With a bad enough (or just unfortunate) codebase or technology choices, every build could easily turn into a full build. I care about cold build and cold restart times exactly for this reason.
