How long do builds take to cook before you can actually test the fixes?
TL;DRBuilds take roughly five to six hours to cook, improved from eight to twelve, and most of that process happens outside the speakers' own view.
That is a good question. Are we at five hours now? Based on the email, when they first say we're starting it, it's about five or six hours.
It used to be more like eight to 12 hours, and the process has improved quite a bit while I've been here. I think it's about five hours.
Most of that goes on in Austin, so we don't have a lot of great visibility into it, but they try to keep us in the loop by emails and stuff. I know that they are never-ending. Those guys, when they pass one build, they're on to the next build.
And when a build fails, they feel it. Sometimes the build will be cooking and then something terrible will happen before it's done. And we see all that.
I'm consistently impressed with the work those guys in Austin are doing to test these things. It's a thankless job.
Austin and Germany. We don't see the Germany folks as much, but there's DevOps there now.
