I would give you words of encouragement but that would be silly since you are probably smarter than me. I only know little programming and wish I did that rather than finance.

[emmaJoLin]

There are definite downsides to programming also. I suppose one thing I like about it is the potential for independence - many people work as contractors and stuff even if they don't try to stat a company. But it's definitely frustrating at times having to work with a lot of stuff many other people have produced, not all of which works.

Try it out if you want, but you know the grass is always greener or whatever.

Wow you're hot for a programmer. A lot of programmers condescend other programmers, I've seen it at many jobs, it has nothing to do with sex. Even I run into people who want to believe their super-gods of C++ or something, but they always end up coming to me for help. If they have a problem respecting you, be a haughty hottie. And you could also wear a neckscarf on your next client meeting so they have less skin to look at. You could wear a wedding band, it might help.

[emmaJoLin]

Ha - I don't think I quite have the C++ superpowers to act arrogantly. Actually, that's a language I'm quite glad not to be messing around with any more (I'm using ruby with my website). I suppose you get more hardcore points than me for being awesome at it.

Its good to see you do a video after a long hiatus. Good luck with your business that you and your mother are doing together. I'm actually in IT school myself, but since you are a graduate from MIT, I would like to ask your opinion on a program that I am trying to develop.

[emmaJoLin]

Thanks! I don't know if I could give a particularly valuable opinion on any program you're writing - I don't think going to MIT made me a better engineer than many of my friends who went to different schools. It may have made becoming one a lot less fun though.

how far did this company with your mom go? would you say it was successful?

[Shaunfroggydog]

YOU ARE SO DAMN CUTE!!!! I just want to pick you up and hug you.

[useyourdelusion]

hey, just wanted to hear how the start up is going. i'd like to do the same thing someday.

[useyourdelusion]

so how's the start up going? it'd be really interesting to hear about it.

[BTLyndon]

Make it regular, homey.

[EchoFour]

It is asinine that someone would not believe in you. To this point in your life you've given no reason to doubt.

Best of luck to you in your start up. I'm positive it will be a resounding success.

[snooq]

[tcort]

Welcome back to YouTube! I miss your emma on relationships videos. Good luck with your startup. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is. My guess: you're building robotic Captain Janeways with mad BJJ skillz.

[yogoshu]

good luck with the start up hun. Dont let your gender or other peoples preconceptions hold you back from doing anything. remember that 10/20 years down the line your industry will look very different. Your a trail blazer!!;) Good to see you back, keep it up...

I'll give you a hug, I can tell you need one. :P

Hey, do you know anything about cell phone batteries?
