Your code is slow to compile, or your test suite to run, or the CI to become green.
The hardest question in computer science:
How do you wait in front of a computer screen in the meantime?

I've noticed that quite a few of my tasks are inherently async, like merging a PR and waiting on the CI until I can review on staging.. Initiating such an async task usually takes only little time.
So my default action during wait, is to initiate another async task 😉
If the cycle time is large enough to walk away from the screen, I'll do that to give my eyeballs a change of scenery. I have been known to spend the time looking at why the cycle time is too slow 😄
Reflection. Whenever I finish a feature I spend at least 30 minutes going over what I did, thinking about what I struggled with, how I could do it better. Sometimes this leads to a refactor of the code, sometimes it gives me ideas on our best practices, occasionally it leads to discovering a bug.
Read Dev!
Are you browsing DEV or reading from your reading list?
I think I should do the latter but do the former :P
I do both. But, my reading list is more articles that I go bad and reference more.
Take over the world!

Well, if I have more tasks or work to do I will do that, if I don't I will come to DEV and read a couple articles! If I don't feel like reading I might go take a rest
