What do you do during boring build times at work?

Question

Sometimes stuff is taking forever to deploy. What do you do instead of looking at social media/email while your build is still building or deploying is taking forever (or even debugging)? How do you like to take breaks or feel like you're being productive rather than just sitting idly waiting?

If the build succeeds, what will your next action be? If the build fails, what is the most likely reason? Where will you add a log statement to investigate? Can you catch up on the broader project updates? Learn about the broader context of what the engineers/PMs are working on Get up to get coffee while still keeping your brain in the headspace of the project.  I'd also investigate a product like Blacksmith (founded by a Taro Premium member Aditya Jayaprakash!) to improve build times.
