I worked from home on Wednesday and I managed to watch one episode of Better Call Saul while waiting for the compilation of my code lol.

Chrome dev?
Cobol, the crazy thing is

I gotta wait the 5min before I can even debug it as we aren't allowed to run it locally

Someone should pause on the Better Call Saul and write some Bazel rules for COBOL.
Nah, Chrome is larger than that. I built NixOS 22.11 from source and Chromium took over 6 hours on a Ryzen 7 3800XT with 32GB of RAM. Had to run the build on spinning rust though, because neither my SSD and certainly not my tmpfs were large enough.
