1391: Punish or Praise the Budding Hacker You Raised? | Feedback Friday

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer. The chocolate flakes on this foamy cortado of life advice, Gabriel Mizrahi. Do they actually do they put chocolate flakes on a cortado? I'm not even sure I know what a cortado is. Me either. They do at Starbucks if you pay'em enough, I'm sure.
