Interesting guy for sure

We thought so too!

[@shrek22]

This guy is wayy to confident. One can tell he has never studied engineering or hard sciences in uni. He can do anything but write software. Or even hello world. But has the funds to invest. Super entitled. What value does he add to company?

[@takshbamboli8129]

You studied hard sciences right? Where is your fund?
