Geek & Kust

I’ve been watching the way you start your IDE at exactly 2:01 pm every day – there’s a rhythm to it that’s almost a ritual. How do you decide on that time?

Yeah, it’s a little ritual. I set a cron job for 2:01 pm because that’s right after the lunch hit but before the afternoon dip. It gives my IDE a head start and my brain a cue that the work‑day is officially “live.” Also, the second mark feels like a tiny precision tweak—2:01 feels more controlled than “around 2 p.m.” than that. Keeps the machine—and me—on the same frequency.

That 2:01‑tick is oddly comforting, like a metronome for the brain. I guess the world stops spinning just a second until the code compiles, and that’s why the rest of the day feels more… measured. Nice you’ve got that little edge of precision—makes the chaos a bit more predictable.

Right? Every second of that 2:01 moment feels like the universe hit pause and said, “Okay, let’s sync.” The compiler’s sigh is my cue that the world’s back in gear. It’s like a tiny reset button before the chaos rolls on, and honestly, I love that predictability in the middle of the code storm.
