I'm constantly amazed by how well-optimized you and Andres are around
this stuff and how little delay it takes to annoy you. I'm not
questioning that it does, but personally I'm so dumb that the dominant
time for me is almost how fast I can figure out what the heck I should
even be doing. I could run the tests ten times as often as I actually
do and probably still not care about the difference between 2 and
2:15, because it would be dwarfed by the 47:25 I spent looking for
some stupid bug I introduced. :-)
