    0:48 Why does a Java programmer call herself an "investment banker"? Anyone who knows anything about investment banking knows that not everyone who works for an i-bank is a "banker".

    Change the colour of your channel logo, it seems like that your channel is sponsored. That's what I have observed.

    Left before the building collapsed, left lehman brothers before the collapse and joined an early stage startup which grew tremendously over time. Crazy luck 🫡
