Who cares about startup times if apps is started only when new version is deployed?

And 5 minutes is a bit long, maybe someone is doing some database operations during start?

I care because every second of that startup time is lost productivity and focus. For me and any developer on my team. Hot reload only works if no class or method has changed so that's not a solution. I've worked on codebases of similar size and complexity in many languages, and the developer experience of a compile and restart that takes less than five seconds is game changing.
