The thing that worries me about this post is that they are making a lot of sacrifices in the name of build speed. They are switching languages and libraries and changing their code. Basically, they are creating some amount of tech debt in the name of build speed.
Maybe because I started out with C++ on a relatively slow computer, build speeds have not been much of an issue for my productivity. Especially with code completion/etc running and underlining in red my errors as I typed.
I guess I kind of treated build as an asynchronous process where I could spend time thinking about the next thing I wanted to do.
That being said, definitely get an SSD and a beefy machine, as low build times are nice, but not worth changing your language, libraries, and code structure.
