  not even a joke, sometimes this is just how it is when you’re testing software.

    Sometimes you build a loading screen into your application that pops up when you hit a special combination of buttons.

      only when you get along with the person testing your stuff (because the other one would probably get me in trouble)

  Or just use rust stakeholder, it’s guaranteed to make you look very busy 😄

  Remember the Windows 95 copying files animation?

  A colleague and I were sitting waiting for a shit ton of files for the project we were working on to be copied to a backup folder when our (pretty computer-clueless) boss wandered up behind us and said: “Playing a game on company time?”

  But then we all also wrote scripts which printed meaningless computer gibberish to the screen so we could take a bit of time out and relax - if he ever showed up we’d be allL “It’s compiling” or “It’s recalibrating the main drive” or “It’s defragging the video ROM”.

  Sometimes I’m so glad I work from home…

    I worked from home as a contractor once. Boss was kind of a jerk, though.

      I’m an independent consultant who works from home 99% of the time. My boss keeps sexually harassing me.

  I feel like this has gotten a lot better though. I used to work on projects that took 10 minutes to compile and now the build tools I use are nearly instant

    That’s much worse - fewer excuses!

    “better”

    Compile time was Usenet time.

    Oh bless you, stay away from c++ and rust

      Even C++ has gotten better if you use precompiled headers and parallel compilation in MSVC
