I was thinking more about all the children that die every day as part of “gods plan”.

He works in mysterious ways you know

If God exists he’s an asshole

I live in Atlanta so they is the city of Atlanta I guess. I got a random fine in the mail and it was from a private company I don’t remember their name but the same cameras are all over my town now.

The cameras are in places where people have to drive everyday and the flow of traffic is usually slightly higher than the limit. You can’t avoid going by them so you are tracked no matter what. And if you forget and follow the flow of normal traffic you are getting a letter from the company in the mail asking for $200.

They have speed and traffic light cameras made by the same companies and they are pushing them out indiscriminately.

Also why should that company get money if someone speeds or goes through a red light? Why do they get that privilege but no one else does? The government getting fines is one thing but a private company is another

Everyone goes over the speed limit at some point but usually there isn’t a cop there so there is no issue. It’s impossible to drive exactly the speed limit even if you wanted to

My only real issue with it is that there are a ton of them now and they are privately owned. If the fine went to the city that would be a different story.

Imagine if next they put a sensor right in your car so if you ever go over a limit you always get a fine. Would you still be into that? Would you buy that car?

That’s not true. We have a ton of these popping up in my neighborhood in places where there haven’t been issues.

Also they are owned by private companies that pocket most of the money you pay the fine with.

Why do I need 5 of these on my way to work in the morning? That’s 5 times where if I accidentally went too fast I have to pay a private company $200. That’s up to 10 times a day I am at risk of a random fee to some company. Insane that you want that

The camera doesn’t make the road safer it makes it more expensive

They would remove the camera not the traffic light. I don’t think that would cause an accident

What theme song do you prefer?

The nanny

I’m on my second day of driving so I can get home in time for work tomorrow. I am going to be so tired this week lol

I actually bought a skin for my dash and when I got a software update it broke and went back to the default. I called support and they had no idea what I was talking about lol

I wish I could still make a cool sound with my ev they should add a button that revs the space ship sound up

I did not think you were going to say hand lol

Yet he was still in charge of all the engineers who did. He had people actively working against their best interests lol. Disaster

We had some super old code in our company monorepo that was written by someone who became the CTO, there was a comment forbidding people from writing private methods in the code base because “we aren’t babies”. It explained so much about the awful code and why everything was crazy.

Is this supposed to make me believe in God? As if people who die in a plane crash know more about the universe than me somehow? Does falling really fast instill some ancient forgotten knowledge in you?

It’s funny because I learned to program with strongly types languages and when I moved over to JavaScript I always complained about it for the longest time but now that I use mostly typescript at work I kind of miss some of the old JavaScript patterns and their flexibility. But for working with large teams or large projects in general it’s nice to have typescript

Probably in his crevice too lol
