| I don't compile (web application) but have period of time when I am running test suite and have to wait. If I have such free time, there is always something else work-related for me to do, since I am not tasked with only coding.
- Go over the code I have just written. - It is time to commit, so look at diffs and commit. - Check the server's performance. - Go over list of pivotal stories and see what I be doing next. - Take a break, go for a walk around in the building, check out the beautiful view. - Go over calendar and see if there is anything I need to not-forget. - Read something related to programming, a book at work or an article. - Have a talk with fellow co-workers about something that has been on your mind. |
