Then you're being disingenuous in picking a quarter of the quote.
>You’ve probably heard this mantra: “Programmer time is more expensive than computer time.” What it means basically is that we’re wasting computers at an unprecedented scale. Would you buy a car if it eats 100 liters per 100 kilometers? How about 1000 liters? With computers, we do that all the time.
The point is that we are wasting all the resources at every scale. We are supposedly burning computer cycles because developer time is more important. Yet we are also burning developer time with compiling, or testing for interpreted languages, at a rate that is starting to approach the batch processing days.
