  • If you want an unsolicited advice:

    There may be reasons to keep building everything from the ground up (usually reproducible builds and security are presented as such), but there also may be ways to fix build times while adhering to the requirements.

    We use Nix for building and binary cache plays nicely with it, but it is also not always too fast, it’s hard to start with, most of our team hates it and wants to replace with something simple (not fruitfully, yet), but it may solve some of the issues.

    That is, if you want to solve those, I’m not sure I would if I were in such a situation.

    I was toldo the other day that in ten years there will be no testers because developers will do all the testing.

    I’ve seen how it works out in practice: there’s not enough time for testing and for developing, too, developers are going to burn and the product is going to be shit done and shit tested. Maybe it works if your company is willing to spend extra for less results by someone doing all the stuff less efficient than what they could, but that’s a rare occurrence.

    … try every trick to make it look like it works, blame everyone for not using it, blame everything for not working the way it should, break some things that are made with other tools that work for a good measure (it was their fault for being too arrogant, anyway)
