Any sleep statement should probably be a cause to look deeper though. "Don't do anything for a while" is almost never the right thing to tell a computer to do.

Well, sadly, when you need to wait for certain things to happen, it needs to be there. We used sleeps all the time in my automation suite cuz the suite was faster than the webpage it was testing.

LOL! I can see it now: The person who put in the sleep originally says: "I didn't want to stress out the SQL server so that I don't get the 2AM pager calls..."

coworker wrote a bash script to perform some actions only after the docker container was up and functioning. sleep and check again in 30 seconds seemed like a fine solution. probably more elegant solutions, but ya know, whatever

Yeah if there's not an event that's easy to catch, if it works it works.

Why does a friendly "ask" suddenly became a "task"?
As aside, does anybody know the origin of "This is our ask: do XYZ."? It is so inelegant. To me this sounds better: "This is our request: do XYZ."?

I'm not a fan of nouning verbs, or verbing nouns for that matter. You should only noun a noun and verb a verb, it just sounds stupid to verb a noun. Am I right?

Nouning an adjective is okay though, right?
