Finshed waiting for my desktop at work (read: old XP machine with 9 year old specs) to finish a build.
Realize I forgot to uncheck "run when opened" in the executable builder.
Now I have to rebuild it. Guess I needed to go make another pot of coffee anyway

I feel your pain. I don't know how many times I did something similar with an FPGA build.

Place the whole coffee machine near to your workplace and try to make this option unchecked by default

I was under the impression that the second build time in such a case would be much faster, since most things don't need to be done from scratch. Isn't there some caching (unless you do a "right-click...clean" on the build spec)?
I have not really benchmarked this, so I am just guessing... 😉

I think you are correct, but my computer is slow enough that I didn't wait around to find out. But by the time I came back to my desk (~15 mins) it was finished, so maybe it was even quicker than that!

I suspect a variation on the old carpenters montra would apply;
"Think twice, compile once".
