What are you doing with macs that naturally works out at ~one continuous 24h period per work-week on average? Turn on CI once a week Thursday midnight, and no one goes into the weekend before all test failures are fixed?

Maybe start the Mac CI monday morning, and fix errors then? Would lead to a more enjoyable weekend IMHO.

Ya, weekly builds on Monday morning for a gaming company with multiple teams makes sense. They could slice it up across their teams even for better TCO
