What do you usually do if the compile time is something like 15 minutes? (feddit.de)

Cheer the computer along every step and offer motivational speeches

Say to the colleagues that the compile time is 45 minutes and go browse Lemmy

I read the code I just wrote before finding out I have some issue meaning I'll have to re-compile, 20 minutes in.

Edit: Oh shit, you likely mean not my own code. In that case I just read their code and pretend I know what's going on.

I just let it happen in the background while I browse YouTube or the fedi.

Except when I see LLVM or Glibc compiling I just whip out the steamdeck lol.

Obligatory XKCD

Non-meme answer: something light, like read the news headlines, check some emails. Basically, I don't want to burn too many of my mental cycles while the cpu burns many.

Have a long cigarette break outside

[–] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, also this, with my phone browsing Lemmy 😂.

[–] sphere_au@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Run make -j<insert number of CPU cores here + 1> Overclock If all else fails, go make a coffee (or go make a coffee anyway)

Lol, compile times are usually like at least double that on the hardware I run 😂.

I just usually visit reddit, or in the last week or so, Lemmy. Sometimes I do code/script corrections, but rarely to be honest.

Browse hacker news or perhaps lemmy now. It’s not really enough time to switch to doing something productive now is it?

Time to make coffee and read the news on my phone while it cools down, or go take a coffee-fueled break (while also reading the news on my phone, as is customary during such breaks)
