ASP Developer

Aren't you an ASP developer?, I was recently asked when meeting a client of mine. They had an old system running, and truthfully it was pretty much state of the art back then, around 2000 when it was built. 3 layered code, MTS , SQL Server etc.

But still, now when getting the question, inside my head I thought "No, I am an ASP.NET developer, that's where all the fun is and how I want to develop sites", but of course I never said that.

Cause 2 microseconds later I thought, hey, I got two kids to feed at home and this man is asking me to work, what am I thinking...So I looked up at him, smiled and said:

"Of course I am an ASP Developer"

While people knowing me might argue and say, "hey I know you have a lot of asp.net contractor work, you wouldn't need to take that job". Well, in short terms, no, however being an independent consultant is to me pretty much do what they tell you to do.
