I don't think anybody talking about "latency" without a qualifier is thinking about build latency.
But it's a nice article. The idea that giving-up on waiting for a delay has a simple exponential distribution is something that I never thought. (And now I'm fixed on understanding why... Something must have biased me against it.)

Not sure if it's the exact research that the author is referring to, but it could be this one: https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/so/2023/04/10176199/1...

It's an article about a fast build system, why wouldn't it be about build latency?
