Here's a nice techie topic:

I was just reading the latest issue of Edge, Gregg Barnett FAQ, and he
mentions the time between between compiles being just an hour back in the
8bit days.  I guess he's thinking of commercial projects with big teams, but
it's really rare for me to code for an hour without compiling and testing.
I pretty much never go more than about 30 minutes without giving features a
little test of some kind.

I was just wondering what everyone else's coding habits were, anyone code
for hours on end so confident in their code they don't need to compile?
