Will work for fun
by Hose-A S-Warez

  3
I have a few philosophies, such as "if I stop having fun at my job, It's time to move on." All the IT related jobs that I have held have been fun in one way or another. For example, my first job in the IT field was doing Coldfusion. We actually had more fun then we should have, and overall, it was a good experience. I've also stayed friends with most of the developers and we hang out from time to time.

I'm lazier then django forms
by Hose-A S-Warez

  7
When I started to learn django, i fell in love with django forms, or newforms as it was called then. It made writing forms a lot more enjoyable. So like many relationship, it started out great, we, (me and django forms), were having a great time together, having fun spending a lot of time together, great. Then we started to get serious and that's when things became more complicated.
