The iterative nature of art

“Some people don’t understand the iterative nature of art, design and game design.”
“Instead, they try to reach the final version on the first try and get frustrated when it’s not as good as they thought.”
“Aim for the best you can, but know that you will have to iterate, work on it again. Know that it’ll get better on the next step!”

When rustc explodes
One could say I have a bit of an obsession with build times.
I believe having a “tight feedback loop” is extremely valuable: when I work on a large codebase, I want to be able to make small incremental changes and check very often that things are going as expected.
Especially if I’m working on a project that needs to move quickly: say, the product for an early-stage startup, or a side-project for which I only ever get to do 1-hour work bursts at most.
