If I'm the only developer on a project and I really need to get to market I might do just that. I sometimes do day hikes on weeknights so this is actually a likely scenario for me.

Do you go hiking alone without your phone? That seems dangerous.

And why would you start a test if you won't be there to see the results of the test? Seems more sensible to either leave after you've run the test or wait to do so until you get back.

If a test is going to take more than an hour then I'm not going to sit around after work waiting for it to finish.

Yeah pretty frequently. It's not dangerous at all. Maybe if I was climbing alone it would be.
