 Had a lot of you asking me about how I program and the like. Programming is important if you do want to be the novahot matrix cowboy/cowgirl. That's true. And the benefit of investing in the skills and equipment to do your own programming and deckbuilding is that you will always be able to access what you need to jack into the matrix, without relying on others. Even an experienced decker can have their proggies shredded by IC, and having the ability to bounce back by just cooking some new chips can be what saves you from looking like an utter bakebrain in front of your team. Had a lot of you asking me about how I program and the like.

-However, a warning: __**Deckbuilding is time-consuming and expensive.**__ If you do not have a good computer to do the program and are inexperienced with deckbuilding, you can spend DAYS working on just one part. //((OOC: Using the starting computer to do my programming, it took me 12+ OOC hours to finish my first MCPC. Accordingly, I wouldn't recommend doing deckbuilding until you have better gear and stats.))// And as you will see, a custom deck is requiring many parts to function. In life, the saying "time is money" is so true. Depending on ones goals, it can be just as profitable to buy a storebought deck. And if you are having friends, reaching out to another netjockey to see if they have a hand me down can be a legit way to acquire a hot ASIST deck without building it yourself.+However, a warning: __**Deckbuilding is time-consuming and expensive.**__ If you do not have a good computer to do the program and are inexperienced with deckbuilding, you can spend DAYS working on just one part. //((OOC: Using the starting computer to do my programming, it took me 12+ OOC hours to finish my first MPCP.
