If you have a computer, if you have a laptop, if you have something that you can cope with, you can create things from nothing you can do face, no one has done before, and iPhones are so amazing. So I was a freshman. I took my first computer science class. I didn't really know much about it. I just wanted to experiment with other engineering discipline.

So the reason why I'm going into Microsoft for full-time job afterwards is because I landed an internship with some last summer.
