Good morning, beautiful people.
Yesterday’s bitter cold made for a slow start, taking me a good two hours into late morning to feel warm. I spent most of my morning writing yesterday’s blog post and experimenting with DALL-E 3.
The good news is that the coding issue has been resolved, and the bug is fixed. Before resuming my coding work, I remembered solving a similar problem four months ago. After checking my old files, I found a beautifully written Python script that worked well but didn’t interact with other files.
With some help from GPT and a substantial prompt, I identified the issue—just three lines of useless code ruining a DataFrame. A warm cup of tea and a chunky prompt later, I had a beautiful Python script. Testing it will have to wait until today since I was in a rush; let’s hope I finish the project today.
The atmosphere was surprisingly good at work, partly because senior directors were absent. They were either working remotely or elsewhere, sparing us from sudden delegations of unpleasant tasks. I relished the focus.
The day’s highlight was meeting a friend after work, our first get-together in nearly a month. We delved into various topics, from my trip to Istanbul to her struggles as a young woman in the Iranian community and the influence of society on life choices. It was enlightening.
I realized that societal pressure often drives major life decisions. People find partners or immigrate to fit in rather than out of genuine desire. It’s frustrating. I, too, am searching for a new romantic partner and contemplating immigration, but many around me do these things to maintain appearances, not fulfill true needs.
Enough of the philosophical musings; let’s dive into work. Today promises to be a beautiful day.
Hasta la vista, amigos!
