Re:Why I don't spend time with Modern C++ anymore on Wednesday May 18, 2016 @06:14AM (#11720856)
Wonder if they tried IncrediBuild to reduce their compile time? They are right that C++ - while faster than ever before - takes much longer to compile than many other languages.
Re:Ask HN: Are there fewer companies selling software now? on Wednesday April 27, 2016 @07:26AM (#11579408)
Many do sell software. Google is a major software provider. However, it is things like Google Apps for Work and Google Apps for Education, for example. The famed buzzword: software as a service. More and more people are paying monthly for software. There's also a lot of software being sold to companies for their work - B2B rather than business to consumer.

As was famously said a few years ago "Software is eating the world."

Even traditional software companies with on-premise licensing rarely send CDs nowadays.

How does this compare to IncrediBuild or Electric Accelerator?
