The first and most important step is to go grab a cup of coffee. After I just waste time doing other stuff, like browsing

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.
That’s what the second monitor is for.
Which means the actual answer is miss the sudo prompt for a password and time out the update…
Cheer the computer along every step and offer motivational speeches
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 press cmd+n on terminal window and then type ~/tdsr/tdsr, to start tdsr then I open some code to see if I can find a way to fix my stupidly borked prototype, with nano, if I can’t find where tf I made a mistake: I open visual studio code, the most accessible code editor that exists.
I can recommend neovimtpo you it is more accessible then normal vim
To be fully effective with your time, go get a cup of coffee first, and then start the compiler. ;-)
@PaulL @iloverocks Gentoo?
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)
Browse hacker news or perhaps lemmy now. It’s not really enough time to switch to doing something productive now is it?
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.
