It doesn't necessarily start out as a waste of time but it can become one if you spend too much time on it. I try to restrict myself to reading YC when recompiling stuff on my powerbook. At the beginning of the build I use
open -a Opera http://news.ycombinator.com
and at the end I have
open -a Opera make.out
That way the browser automatically takes me to the build output when it's time to get back to coding.
- gruseom 18y agoThat is brilliant. But you're still replacing one waste of time with another!
- NoBSWebDesign 18y agoIs it really a waste of time if it entertains you and stimulates your thoughts, when used judiciously?
- gruseom 18y agoI don't know. You could post the question to HN :)
- markbao 18y agoAwesome. Though at first I thought you were opening Hacker News then going back to a relationship or something.
