Not to nit-pick your joke, but the unfortunate case in the Rails world is very often. I (try to) be a good boy and run tests before every check in, as well as writing them in advance of new features. Our project has enough files that it takes ~30-40s for the environment to load.

On an average day I probably spend 30 minutes to an hour of each day waiting on environment loading, depending on the task. Big restructurings and big new features tend to take a lot of test iterations.

Now that I do the numbers my time sunk on this is simply staggering.

ouch. that makes a profound productivity regression.
