Apparently my parents can't afford this lovely mini fridge
Can't say I'm surprised lol we ain't rich
@realcaseyrollins Why do you need a mini fridge? lol
@Korsier Cuz when I'm at college I drink soda all the time and I like that stuff cold haha
@realcaseyrollins I thought you lived with your parents. What do you study?
@Korsier I live with my parents, but only during the summer
I'm currently studying IT management
@realcaseyrollins Anything in IT is a good career. Make sure you pick up some technical skills so you know what everyone's talking about.
@Korsier Yep! I'm working on that, I got a friend who got into IT without a degree just by taking a bunch of certs and I wanna try and do some of those either in the winter or next summer
@realcaseyrollins Certs are hard but are a good way to get your foot in the door. Also, just from experience, everybody talks agile but a lot of the projects I've been on are more like "waterjile".
@Korsier Do you work in IT? It sounds like you're speaking from experience.
@realcaseyrollins Started with building websites back in the late nineties.
@Korsier Whoa!! That's super cool!! I actually started programming in HTML & JavaScript, moved on to Python, then got into IT
@realcaseyrollins I started with Classic ASP back in the day. Do mostly ASP.NET/MVC/Razor/MMSQL now. Some side projects on PHP/MySQL. And trying to stay up to date with all the JS frameworks.
@Korsier Fancy, fancy! I need to learn PHP sometime
@realcaseyrollins I think PHP is actually pretty good to learn web on because it doesn't try to hide the underlying model with its own abstraction the way .net and some of the other frameworks do, and it's fairly easy to learn. Not as popular as it used to be though.
@Korsier Well, I actually do enjoy it when there are specific rules for the code so I would appreciate that!
@realcaseyrollins I like .Net with MVC/Razor, but the older ASPX was over-complicated imho. I spent more time debugging than developing. With PHP you need good code discipline or it's really easy to write spaghetti.
