"gather eggs from the chickens"?

• VLM 11y ago
  Oh, you'll get another batch in almost exactly one day. There's lots of mythology about the chicken cycle (as if theres only one "chicken") being 25 or 27 hours vs our wall time clock, and chickens don't live forever, but... Same line of thinking WRT military, farming, etc. On a very small scale I'll never type that specific line of code again, probably. There are very few ways to earn a living that don't terminate the procedure with "repeat from beginning of procedure"

    No, that's not what we're talking about. You gather eggs until there are no more eggs in the coop. That task has an end, and then you are finished. You may begin a similar task again at a later period. If you were asking about a job where you do it once and it stays done permanently forever, that's silly, and it's not what the guy you replied to was referring to.
