If I was a boss and saw someone being busy building Rust all day I would offer a faster computer.

If you were a boss and you were staring at my screen all day, I’d find another job ;).

In all seriousness though, we’re assuming in this case that you’re taking a break, and a stakeholder happens to walk past - hopefully not a constant occurrence.

Anxiety wouldn't allow me to go for a break without locking my workstation first.

I meant taking a break from working whilst still at your desk, as that’s the context of this thread.

Is this the way to get your boss buy you a faster computer?
