Trevor, in earlier conversation you relayed to us a list of disciplined
programming practices - all of which I agree with.  But you keep bringing up
this discipline of not compiling as much as one would like as being
undisciplined even though it didn't make it on your top 7 disciplines.  ????

Steve,

If you have ever heard a developer complain because their compile was too
slow, and then do something about it - like move it to another job queue, or
change its run priority, or (mistakenly) its timeslice, then IT has just
impacted the business. When users complain about the server being slow, and
programmers are placing a priority on their work higher than the users, then
IT has just impacted the business.

Sure, it happens less now we have more CPW. Good programming discipline
should (IMHO) ~not~ be about "more power = sloppier programming". Yet it
does.
