What do you do while compiling
-
What do you do while compiling a large project and waiting it to load on a development device?
I usually refresh QtNevNet and Twitter while compiling and start reading something new.
What about you?
-
That's also what I do, reading QtDevnet or some good technical books. Drinking some tea....
-
I tend to study other stuff, fix more bugs for next iteration and talk stuff at IRC... Sometimes, when bored, I tend to look at Internet space too, like here.
-
Depends on compilation time of course :) sometimes look through compiler output, sometimes read internet, sometimes make tea, sometimes sleep :D
-
I watch the compiler output window or check developer forums or have a chat with colleagues if they are free.
-
Sometimes read something, sometimes watch popular TV Series, sometimes something else...
-
Getting a new coffee or writing tests and documentation. Talking to colleagues is a key part in getting a new coffee :-)

Yes I write tests as well during the compilation time, nice to mention.

I have the wrong job...
Just think of us poor people from time to time who don't have to wait for compiles and are called out for wasting time online. :P

That’s another way to put it, yeah ;) Currently I’m messing with 7G of git repository, lots of waiting...

We could provide you with a neat Qt based compiler simulator ;-)

Well that's a shame that you don't have slow Internet there in Norway in order you could think on doing something else while waiting for pages to load :P
-
I grab a cup of coffee or refresh Seesmic Web.
-
That's when i go and disturb my colleagues :)
-
I code. Often times I have a new feature to try out on the new set of compiled libraries, makes the whole thing like an adventure. :) Keeps me busy as well.

watching such "videos":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zpi2CD9srk
a really impressing lasershow:
-
I usually do some browsing, chatting and tea drinking. However, ever since "XKCD did a comic on compiling":http://xkcd.com/303/, I've been wanting to do swords practice during compiling...
-
I get a new cup of coffee etc :)
-
Drink tea, irc, QtDN, work on another project or branch, help colleagues, fix sys admin issues, emails, drink more tea... ;-)
-
I have a laptop and a desktop, so work on the other while one is compiling. and of course devnet, surf, twitter, FB, chat with friends, some tea ... return phone calls
-
:) text messaging to friends and talk on phone
-
I am compiling at the moment, so you see it.... :-)
