I am a freelance programmer and use time-tracker software to bill my hours. Sometimes when I am running some time-taking operation such as building a Docker image, running a CI pipeline and waiting for it to finish. Should I keep the time tracker running while I am waiting and using apps like YouTube, Discord in the meantime?

    Those are issues that should be addressed with your client, not us. Better yet, they should be spelled out in your contract.

Well, here I can suggest two approaches:-

  1. Use another machine during such hours to watch youtube, etc.
  2. These types of tasks require monitoring in between, so in a way, you should still clock hours. However, these should be cleared beforehand in your contract with the employer.
