A screenshot shows a terminal on an old Pentium II computer spending almost five hours compiling a simple Rust Hello World program, followed by a five-second runtime. The joke mocks Rust's famously slow compilation and the patience required from Rust programmers, so it is used as a sarcastic reaction to lengthy build times.
