    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...

                          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 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.

                                    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...

                                        Drink tea, irc, QtDN, work on another project or branch, help colleagues, fix sys admin issues, emails, drink more tea... ;-)
