MS vs. Google build practices not too long after Brooks noted his uncertainty that building daily was worth it.
MS improved their build system massively and went from being able to build once a day (on a good day — zero times on a bad day) to doing 8 builds a day: https://danluu.com/microsoft-culture/.
Meanwhile, Google built what you'd consider modern CI infra for a giant monorepo with much more code and let people build at any time and it would've been considered absurd to only build 8 times a day.
