the null prophet's guide to efficiency.

step 1: pretend there is no break.

question the entire hecking existence of the concept. ask (out loud): “what the [duck] even is a break?” if you manage to gaslight everyone around you into agreeing, mark step 1 functioning as intended.

once the storm has passed, move to step 2.

step 2: drop what you were doing.

save it to the stack for efficient restore later. (only 1 pop operation needed!) stacks are elegant and dependable, unlike emotions. they are what make computer programs tick.

think efficiency. think stack.

step 3: start doing something else.

if you’re ADHD, this is your default mode of operation. thank god for the autopilot! it’s basically magic, though even the magic isn’t sure how you did that.

and that’s how you take a break from a break in three easy steps.

disclaimer

pursuits of efficiency may result in stack overflows. proceed at your own risk. brought to you in public interest by "the silent orchard" (finding answers to life's fundamental questions and more™).

author's note

after giving stacks more thought than is acceptable, i remembered the time my friend said they follow a queue model of execution. i told them, “buddy, i am stack all the way down.”
