The implication made here is that the interviewee is presumably running an OS such as Gentoo or similar which has the spirit of compiling everything from source. Or this person only compiles their browser from scratch which has some privacy benefits (removing unwanted telemetry, no hidden surprises in the binary, etc.) and can help performance. I have known some people who compiled their own Chromium.

While the person who wrote the article might seem odd and I would not have hired them, your condescending tone while nitpicking a perfectly valid technical statement strikes me as weird.

Some parts that are done can already be running while other parts are still compiling.

I'm seriously concerned about all the besserwissers in this thread.

Yes, I'm aware that this is impossible in plane 432. This is part of the framing of Palima as some kind of programming/SRE god that is able to do things previously thought impossible. It's fiction, belief can be suspended just that little bit.

> Hopefully the important parts would be done in time for the call.

implies this was no mistake in writing
