I quite like the new look. They also changed the style of select menus which look much better now in dark mode.

Same thing happened to me when buying a graphics card from a computer parts website. Klarna was so well integrated into the UI of the checkout process that I didn't even notice I was giving my details to them.

Only afterwards I noticed on my bank statement. I sent them a gdpr request to delete my data.

Blender Guru on Youtube has some good tutorials. It was a good place to start from scratch for me.

Congrats on taking that decision. I bet it felt empowering.

I'm very tempted to do the same, tomorrow morning possibly. I only stuck out my job for so long because it was fully remote before the pandemic and that was hard to find.

Now actually feels like a good time to switch with so many companies forced into remote working and stating they will stick with it.

What kind of things did you hate about your job? Did you face many questions about quitting with nothing lined up?

I started my first programming job at 28. Before that I did computer repairs and support. Starting that job was the first time I experienced still thinking about work, outside of work.

In a lot of jobs, your thoughts are free to wonder and you can think about whatever you feel like, whilst also working. Not so in software development, to do a good job your thoughts must only be about the task in hand and those thoughts can persist long after the task is over.

I just use a set of dumbbells to do biceps and triceps. It really helps to pull my mood up in the morning.
