> The build server needed to be rebooted, but this was during the pandemic when no one was in the office. Furthermore, it was a Friday making it even more unlikely someone was around to do something as simple as press a button to reboot a machine.

WTF? Why is a company like Apple using one off machines for release builds? That should all be on a VM and a server with a management interface. I made that mistake once and won't make it again.

It can take some time to adjust to feeling like you are always at work but IMO it also feels like I'm never at work. I work 40+ hours and respond to things off hours but I don't have to deal with the hour or so of wasted time and typical office annoyances.
