Dear college student capitalizing on this for pizza money, I’m gonna use your app anyway from halfway across the county, and so will others. That pizza is gonna come with a Ferrari, but your desktop is gonna melt. Get plenty of sleep, don’t take any of it too seriously, and don’t accept the first buy-out offer.
