My big-tech company and my team don't care that build time for a small part of our application is 5 minutes (not a clean build, that would be an hour), so I know they wouldn't pay to save 10 seconds. And linking is not even all of the time to build your application.
From a financial point of view, the fact that the author is in Singapore and has a goal of $10K a month doesn't help.
