Since I've been working in C++ a lot recently I decided to watch the video as I waited for a build to complete. So the length is about right. And fortunately, the video is a delight!

I have read as much as I can on the history of C++ and I'm looking forward to watch this. I find the process of it's evolution deeply fascinating.

I feel drawn to watch it in the same way I was drawn to watch Breaking Bad.

> the process of it's (sic) evolution deeply fascinating.

... as it is disappointing.

Not everything that can be done should be done.

Wow is this just a shitpost (it was funny!) or do your builds actually take about an hour? That's nuts, if so.

A fresh build of a large C++ project taking 1 hour does not sound strange at all.

If that's an incremental build though (i.e. simply rebuilding after changing a few files), there's something very wrong.

FASTBuild has been a game changer for our team recently if you have extra hardware sitting around.
