Isn’t it just smarter to clear your actual build folder and then rebuild it with a script? Bonus points if you limit resources to it so it takes ages? That way if they ever actually look closely, they’ll see it’s the REAL work you’re supposed to be doing that’s building, and you’ll never get in trouble


If I was a boss and saw someone being busy building Rust all day I would offer a faster computer.


If you were a boss and you were staring at my screen all day, I’d find another job ;).

In all seriousness though, we’re assuming in this case that you’re taking a break, and a stakeholder happens to walk past - hopefully not a constant occurrence.


Anxiety wouldn't allow me to go for a break without locking my workstation first.


I meant taking a break from working whilst still at your desk, as that’s the context of this thread.


Win-win I guess :D


Is this the way to get your boss buy you a faster computer?
