Kernel compilation is the ultimate test of patience. You make one tiny change to a variable, hit that clean build button, and suddenly you're trapped in a time warp that makes continental drift look speedy. The meme perfectly captures that feeling of sitting there, arms crossed, staring daggers at your hourglass (or progress bar) as precious minutes of your finite existence drain away. The best part? You know deep down you'll be doing this at least 17 more times today. Compile, wait, curse, repeat—the sacred ritual of kernel development.
