Going to the office when the girlfriend is working from home.

But most of the time, I knowingly stay home too

First workday of the year and I accidentally set a light theme on Atom.

Blinded on the spot

Just finished the testing of the first script I wrote at work to automate a vital task that had to be carried out manually on a daily basis.

It feels so damn good to know that the whole process is free from the variable of human error.

I currently work in data analysis.

Yesterday one of the colleagues working in a different department came to me asking if I could fix his malfunctioning headphone set :/

This is what I see from where I'm coding this week

This would help my motivation a lot

My code gets the work done but it isn't as pythonic as I'd like.

Mixed feelings.

Don't worry Jeff, that's for the best 😉

Just in case you were wondering...

Gotta love witty changelogs

New flat. Still no internet.

Time to do some reading

Whenever I use sudo ...

Phone conversation between me and a client:

CLIENT: "I see it weird..."
ME: "Which browser are you using?"
CLIENT: "The one you tech guys don't like"
ME: "Internet Explorer, isn't it?"
CLIENT: "Yeah, I'll switch to Firefox then."

. Resisted the urge of trying Firefox Quantum when everyone was talking about it on here.

. Finally gave in today and tried it.

. Fell in love with it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Google, but I'll pass this time.

Genius or pure evil?

Finally my score on devRant equals the year when I was born.

Trying not to think about code when I pee.

Pictures like this hang on the urinals in the office restrooms.

I absolutely love it.

It's been a while since I started my first python course on Udemy.

I feel the urge to rant because as I'm leaning more and more and getting increasingly more interested in the subject, the instructor's tone is getting sloppier and sloppier and the quality of the videos is increasingly worse. Really, the videos are so blurred that I cannot read what the guy writes, so I have to turn the captions on hoping that he says out loud everything he types.

Fuck.

The day I was only one ++ away from getting the stress ball.

Decided not to claim it in the end, though.

I finally got a job at a tech company (although it's not a tech job) with a very good work/life balance.

Therefore, I plan on getting more serious about properly learning how to program in my spare time, also because, being a tech company, programmers are all over the place and are generally willing to talk about code.

I must say that while job hunting, devRant has been very useful to me since it allowed me to understand what kind of environment I'd like to work in. So far, the first few weeks of work have been great.

Ah, and the view from the office is unbeatable.

Third day at the new job and I told a collegue about devRant and how great it is. He joined.

Got a work computer. It has Windows installed. Enthusiasm already vanished.

Absolutely hate it when HR says: "You'll be told about the outcome of this interview in the next two weeks".

What about putting in place a more stringent timeline for recruitment processes at your company?

What the fuck am I supposed to do for two bloody weeks?

I hadn't used devRant in a while since I'm preparing for an upcoming job interview and was trying to stay away from my phone.

However, I cracked today and I spent the whole afternoon staring at this beautiful dark-themed interface and reading rants.

How to properly have fun on a Saturday night:

1. Suddenly become deeply unsatisfied with current linux distro

2. Evaluate alternatives

3. Decide some change is needed but not too much: install fresh version of old distro

4. Once again, experience profound dissatisfaction

5. Opt for radical change

6. Erase all linux partitions, form a super partition and install a new linux distro on it

7. Spend hours familiarising with the new distro

8. Spend more hours googling stuff and typing commands in the terminal

9. Download current devRant avatar, send it to the PC via Telegram and set it as user's avatar for the welcome screen

10. Feel deeply satisfied

11. Accidentally wake girlfriend up while trying to get to bed. Get told off for staying up until 4am and for "being such a nerd"

What is worse, sales people or recruiters?

I just noticed that the new Telegram update supports a dark theme 🙋

Munch who?

Frankly, that white tiger is the best thing that happened to devRant so far.
