Don't let your computer go to sleep while you're busy thinking.
Software engineering is more about thinking than typing. And it's very annoying when you're whiteboarding or just thinking and your work machine goes to sleep. Most of the times, we don't have admin access to change the settings so this helps prevent the computer from going to sleep.
Using pip:
pip install caffeinate
Using pip3:
pip3 install caffeinate

On windows, you might need to create a simple python file (code below) as path variable seems to be admin restricted.
from caffeinate import caffeinate
caffeinate.run()
On Linux or Mac OSX, you can simply type awake in the terminal.
To terminate the process, press Esc key 3 consecutive times (doesn't have to be terminal focused key presses).
- Add good documentation to the usage with params explained
- Cleanup the code, maybe use classes for extensibility
