Waiting around for the clanker to finish processing code feels like my first job when I would stand around in a bunny suit waiting waiting waiting for a dry etch machine to tell me a batch of silicon wafers were done and to move them to the next step. Except if we were being accurate, in the machine example, once the machine’s memory got too full it would start doing weird things and be like “hey I know you wanted those wafers but instead, I made you this baked potato because reasons”
