Why, I once encountered a running session longer than a day!

The agent had spun up a backward shell script to watch for the shutdown of another process, but wrote a bug in the script that would have left it running indefinitely until I got home and noticed it.

This was with Fable, no less! And it happened a few more times, though I caught them sooner.

I’m not sure runtime is an important metric at all. Shouldn’t we aim for 0 runtime with maximal results?
