The counter argument here is that that 1 minute difference doesn’t correspond to a minute of extra work in the way that ‘62 days of work saved’ conveys. But the counter-counter argument is that sufficiently fast/good tooling is qualitatively different and increases productivity by enabling new workflows (eg build it vs think carefully about whether it will compile right because builds are slow; break up changes into smaller chunks vs write big hard-to-review changes because CI is slow) such that speeding up tools or maintaining performance as the code base grows are valuable.
