Wow. Lets add some sleep in the compiler also so people will think harder about their code before compiling?

I think that is excessive, but it isn't entirely wrong.

I worked at a place with builds that took over 8 hours. We sure would think hard about our code.

I still maintain that debuggers are a design smell.
