Not a loop from hell, but let's not stop the procrastination loop: The 500 miles sendmail story still fascinates me, to this day: http://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

I thought of this story a few weeks ago when I was using VS Code on an old machine and couldn't get the linter to work on longer files. Very similar problem and solution.
