Would You Hire Someone in IT Who Does Not Have a Home Lab

@wirestyle22
so you are using your own personal resources to test out things for work? That seems backwards. -
@david.wiese That would apply if I didn't receive any personal benefit, which is not the case
I use it for a lot of things. oC server, Plex, etc. It's great for learning which is my whole reason for purchasing it. That is a benefit to me personally, not just my company. -
for me, if it is for work, it is on company provided equipment, period. I do not use personal stuff for work in any capacity without getting reimbursed (such as using my car).
-
@david.wiese You could look at it that way, sure. We just don't agree, which is okay. Everyone sets the value of anything they purchase for any reason. To me, the increased speed of my education is worth the cost.
-
@david-wiese : I agree 1000% about the people skills.
That's something a lot of IT folks seem to lose the higher up the ladder they go.
-
Maybe the OP question itself is wrong and should be more like "are you willing to spend free time to learn?".

That could be another way to write it.

@thwr I agree with maybe renaming the question but I dont agree with telling SAM he is wrong. Could get ugly:-)

That's ok. We now each other just for a few months but already had some discussions
-
I don't tell @scottalanmiller that he's wrong. I just umm.... enthusiastically discuss my stance.

Guys, big SAM is watching you
He just posted something a second ago -
@thwr He's got a sense of humor. I don't think he would be upset

Hopefully this is not the last thing we hear from you

Well we know @scottalanmiller did something to him if @wirestyle22 gets disappeared.
