It’s been over a week since I started at Code / EPS and I have to say I am loving it here.

My computer came in on Friday and I spent most of the day setting it up. Everyone knows the drill of installing Visual Studio, Office, third party tools, etc. It’s a ritual of blessing a new computer for programming work. The picture on the right was taken with my iPhone. The two 24 inch monitors are freakin awesome!

There are a lot of intangibles that make working at EPS fun and a perfect fit for me at this time. Sharing an office with Claudio is a huge perk. Having Markus as a boss is also a pleasant change. Most bosses can be disconnected from the current pulse on software development. Markus stays up to date and is also passionate about being cutting edge. Its nice working with people you respect and can learn from.

I also like that I am not working at the client. Having worked at the clients offices for several years, I began to dislike the random commutes, unknown work conditions, and random hardware configurations. :(

Here I have an office, with a window. I have a nice computer setup so that I can maximize my productivity. I know where I will be 2-3 months out. All in all, a nice change that adds peace of mind. I can now focus on my next phase in my career.
