: I read it as if the character likes doing this, and wouldn't be doing anything more fun otherwise. So if it is a game to you, sure waste your time, but if you are doing something you don't particularly like and waste more time than you save in money, you are just being stupid.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.202.28|162.158.202.28]] 22:43, 29 October 2017 (UTC) | : I read it as if the character likes doing this, and wouldn't be doing anything more fun otherwise.

: There's also the fact that in "Working" the additional work was required every time, and so each additional penny saved comes from additional work. Here, this is about doing the work once and getting the outcome several times. This is actually pretty consistent with someone who is into programming - where in theory you do more work once to save time on each occurence of a repeted task. Now the fact that even "optimizing once and for all" isn't a sure outcome is discussed in https://xkcd.com/1319/ .

:I don't it goes against 951, essentially he's trying to stop before he's spent 9 minutes to save a dollar (and hairy is questioning that he would have otherwise spent that 9 minutes earning more than a dollar) [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.136|108.162.216.136]] 01:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC) | :I don't it goes against 951, essentially he's trying to stop before he's spent 9 minutes to save a dollar (and hairy is questioning that he would have otherwise spent that 9 minutes earning more than a dollar) [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.136|108.162.216.136]] 01:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC) |
