Program compilation scales even better if you don't do it on your client. Its shocking that we're still doing that considering the technology to get off it is now almost 20+ years old. Versioning and caching build systems are just so much better. Vesioned build systems with caching is what should be used. The only time someone should ever be doing a local build is if they are trapped on a desert island.
