That is why you should not leave atomic tasks incomplete.

I’d argue that if it’s possible to only partially complete it, it wasn’t an atomic task to begin with.

$ sudo rm -r_

…Ok, I’ll type the rest next week

Exactly, each keystroke is an atomic task! Doesn’t that make you feel more productive?

Oh yes, but you know what’s even more productive? We could write an automation script, I can make it type and pause on weekends at 100x the speed!

For someone who gets paid hourly, I’m only willing to go so far with unpaid work past when I’m supposed to stop.

I mean, I do get paid for overtime (flexible work hours) and do like to complete tasks before I go into the weekend, but sometimes all your team mates decide to call it a day, and then yeah, I don’t care that hard either…
