You don't compile your code?
Obviously it depends greatly on what kind of software you are writing, but at all my dev jobs, I eventually end up waiting for some amount of time while the CPU heats the room up.
Notably, VIM is inevitably more gentle on my CPU than VSCode and similar.

- ogre_codes 6y agoThat's fair. I think a lot depends on your stack and the specific project. Right now I spend a good chunk of time waiting for builds (usually 10-20 seconds) and my previous job was worse. Prior to that, not so much.
