And this computer science dean comes in and tells me like, hey, you know, I helped you a lot to get past this problem.

So for your graduation project, you need to work with me.

And what we're going to do is we're going to hack into the school again.

I'm like, bro, I'm not, I'm past that.

I'm not even working on security and hacking.

I'm just like, you know, I'm going to build companies and things like that.

It's like, no, you have to do it or I won't graduate you.

I was like, okay, I'll do it.

And so I'm like, okay, but this time I'm going to build a system.

I'm not going to go hack directly into it.

So I built a piece of software that scans any system for vulnerabilities.

And sure enough, I found some vulnerabilities in the system.

So my graduation defense, so you're sitting in front of the different deans and you're kind of getting a presentation.

And I told them how I built the security scanner.

And by the way, I'm going to run it on the university system.

And yet we have a bunch of vulnerabilities here.

And then different dean of engineering was like, you're lying.

And I was surprised that he said that.

I'm like, why do you think I'm lying?

And he's like, because we fixed the system.
