Count yourself as one of the lucky few that can pay a 0 minute context switching price to switch between whatever other productive work you were doing and debugging CI. Most people I speak to remark that continually switching between unrelated tasks significantly diminishes their productivity.

The example above was talking about 30 minute wait times between being able to do work.

Nobody is staring at the screen for 30 minutes in deep concentration while they wait for that turn to complete. They are context switching to something, but maybe it’s Hacker News or Reddit.

There is always a context switch in scenarios like this.
