    Are you being honest with your second job that you’re only going to do your job during the stretches of job #1 that require long compile times?

    It’s like dating two people but pretending to be monogamous with each. It might work for a bit but at some point you will need to choose one over the other.

      That’s a great analogy.

      at some point you will need to choose one over the other.

      Maybe, maybe not. I’ve heard of people doing this stuff for a LONG time.

      But it doesn’t matter, does it? If you are forced to choose one over the other, you’ve still made a lot of extra money on all the double-dipped hours you’ve accrued up to that point.

        That’s true but that reflects more on how bloated and inefficient the tech sector is. And now the other shoe is dropping with mass layoffs.
