8:07 A hint to what's next
___
I started this channel for three reasons:
1. Increase representation in the engineering community
2. Improve at talking into a camera
3. Include tasks I'm fine with putting less effort towards in my day
Some of the goals are more far-fetched than others, but I'll see what I can do.
