I kind of need the opposite, something that pokes me with a stick if I take a break before I'm supposed to.

- unfocused 7y agoI wonder if an extension can be made to scramble your keyboard for x minutes. Rendering your keyboard input unusable while you take a break.
- JacksonGariety 7y agoor just turn you keyboard off?
- dsaw 7y agoLiterally just came to post the exact same comment.
- chatmasta 7y agoI often leave the window while waiting for something to build, and that’s when I get distracted. Would be cool if leaving the window started a timer, and if I’m not back within five minutes it pops a notice on the screen.
- Jarwain 7y agoOr hey having build completion fire a notification would be useful tooo
- RexM 7y agoI have Visual Studio play a sound when the build finishes/fails. May not help you if you’re not using Visual Studio, though. I’m not sure is this can be done with VS Code.
- z3t4 7y agoEliminate all loading times from your workflow using incremental and background builds. The computer will constantly do work for you, but the computer is a work horse, not your baby. Get the fastest CPU you can afford, with silent cooling.
- dhosek 7y agoThere are occasional scenarios where this doesn't work out. The data mapping tool we use (MapStruct) doesn't automatically rebuild with changes in IntelliJ which means I have to manually kick off a compile step any time I have changes in the mapper. Worse still, that compilation doesn't always register in the build as seen by the in-IDE JUnit runner so I sometimes have to run all the tests from maven instead of just the one I care about through the IDE. Fortunately, this isn't a big part of my workflow, but wait times aren't always avoidable.
