The Chronicles of a Developer

A Morning of Mixed Emotions

In the dim light of morning, our protagonist stirs, groggily waking from dreams filled with desires of the flesh. A lingering longing spurs him to reach for the Handy, but satisfaction remains elusive. He sighs, reminded of mornings with Monika, where passion seemed to sputter before it could spark. As the sun rises, our hero acknowledges that time is needed for the body and mind to fully awaken.

He exchanges a few words with Maros, catching up on recent events before heading to the office around noon. But a lingering concern awaits him - a broken, mercury-filled thermometer, carelessly left on the floor. Our protagonist cleans up the mess, opting for coffee and breakfast as a brief respite from potential danger. He emails Allan, informing him of his presence on campus, should Allan wish to join him.

The previous night, our hero had purged the contact information of the reinforcement learning girl from his phone, stung by her impulsive encounter with Nikolai. In his heart, a genuine connection and shared interests are paramount to a thriving relationship. But when he shares his thoughts with Sören, the sting of disagreement strikes deep. Our protagonist's convictions are met with disapproval, causing his heart to ache.

Now, he finds solace in his "Sad" playlist as the melancholic strains of Dean Lewis's "All For You" fill the air. Our hero attempts to work, but productivity eludes him, as his thoughts swirl in a tempest of emotions. He wonders, will he find common ground with those around him, or will these feelings of disconnect continue to grow?

In the bustling networking lab, our protagonist finds himself deep in thought, furiously typing away as he records the events of his day. Allan, his trusty companion, had just left to grab a bite to eat, promising to return shortly. The scent of pasta with cocoa, a comforting yet peculiar concoction, wafts through the air, fueling our hero's determination to tackle the tasks at hand.

With an internship exam poster deadline looming, our hero forges ahead, making significant progress on the Reinforcement Learning project. The AgentBase() class, now teeming with life, randomly selects agent attributes from a colorful assortment of values, goals, personalities, beliefs, and names. The excitement builds as the project takes on a life of its own.

But, alas! A much-needed break is in order. Our protagonist dives into the world of GTAIV on his trusty Steam Deck, exploring the Ballad of Gay Tony instead of the main game. Joyful laughter fills the room as he immerses himself in the thrilling virtual adventure.

As the gaming session draws to a close, a notification catches our hero's eye: Celine, the mysterious figure from days past, has accepted his friend request on Steam. But wait! She still hasn't responded to his message on Discord. The memory of her reignites a whirlwind of emotions, reminding our protagonist of the many social challenges he's faced in just a few short months.

With a heavy heart, he turns his attention back to work, just as Allan returns to the lab, bringing with him an air of camaraderie. The time for sad music has passed, and our hero powers forward, ready to face whatever life throws his way. Stay tuned, dear reader, for the next chapter in this captivating journey!
