This is why I object to sleep() from unistd.h. What an anthropomorphizing notion. Didn't early unix programmers understand that a computer isn't a living creature and therefore isn't capable of sleep? They must have been really stupid!

Some of them were straight up psychopaths too, as evidenced by `kill()` !

Indeed and using SIGKILL is really cruel. At least with SIGTERM the process can say its goodbyes. /j
