Hey Lucas, the summer interns are coming. They're so annoying. Lighten up Lucas. This must be one now. Sup. Hey there little fella. You must be an intern. What's your name? Hi there. My name is Aaron. I go to UC Berkeley and I am passionate about building products that millions of people will use. Do you know how I can access production? Let's go Aaron, your room is down the hall. It's the one with no windows. Your first project is reading this C# book and not touching anything. Nice to meet you guys. Time to push some code. And it was very nice meeting you. Sweet kid. Yeah, seems nice. Uh, production's down. We have a sub one. Aaron, I said read the textbook. Sorry, Meltrin.
