    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…

    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.

    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.

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