Vivian Voss – The Build Step Nobody Ordered:
“The pull request fixes a typo in a heading. One word, one file. The pipeline that ships it runs for eleven minutes, spends most of them downloading and compiling, and bills every one of those minutes to the team’s account.”
“Every other compile step in software serves a machine that cannot run the source. This one serves a platform that has been able to run the source for years.”
David Heinemeier Hansson – You can’t get faster than No Build:
“But for the first time in probably 15 years, the state of the art is no longer finding more sophisticated ways to build JavaScript or CSS. It’s not to build at all.”
