One of the more annoying problems I face on a daily basis is the slow compile times of my current primary project at work.
To be fair, this is a lot less of a problem than it used to be; prior to our upgrade from Scala 2.11 to Scala 2.13, compilation would regularly take 30 minutes or more. These days, it’s typically around 5 minutes for a full rebuild - still annoying, but hardly as much of a time sink.
However, I do still occasionally have to rebuild old versions, or run the database initialisation task, which does still take a long time.
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could go off and do something else, and get notified (on my phone) once it’s complete?
