- MayeulC 4y agoYet another reason to have a quick test suite and build pipeline? I feel like having to wait for more than a few seconds to get the reward would remove the instant gratification our brains crave. That's an interesting setup. I could certainly use something like that: I'm writing my PhD manuscript, and depriving myself of rewards (hobbies) until I'm done, but it seems like my brain can't really understand long-term rewards instinctively. I already have a few hooks that compute the number of lines when I push a commit; I could see myself wiring this up to boil water for a tea, or something similar. Want to take a coffee break? Work a bit first! Avoids procrastinating to some extent, while adding some kind of gamification to the self-discipline (having only myself standing between me and the reward is sometimes not enough). Well, I guess I'll just pretend I have such an elaborate setup; and only build it once I'm done writing ;)
