Looooong developer cycle.
How long should the code/compile/test cycle should be for a developer? Most of the time if this is bigger than 10-20 seconds is too long. Well right now i have the pleasure of working with a codebase that has the smallest possible cycle (trivial changes usually) of around 30 seconds ...a minute. If you need to do code changes it will set you back aprox 10 minutes :-). If you need to sync from svn and do a clean build with the proper model changes and stuff you pay 90-120 minutes. This will not account for not visible changes in the database schema. If the model had changed and you need to add a column to a table you will only find out at the runtime :-(.
So.. how long is the longest developer cycle ?

This happens when the (project) manager was actually just a spamming email manager: "did you finish the application? i already sent an email to customer saying it is ready since last week!".
