In addition to writing code, Hardy patovi should also teach more people how to write suspense mysteries on twitter.
Seattle area investor and entrepreneur, CEO of computer science education nonprofit code. This week, he described in detail his efforts to find lost items and adapted an unfortunate incident at a California airport into a thriller.
In a post with more than 15 tweets, patovi shared a “wild and unfinished” story that began on a Uber trip to Burbank Airport in Hollywood on Thursday, where he lost a backpack containing a laptop, passport and what he called “the most precious property of his life”
Patovi put his bag on the ground at the request of a Uber driver. The driver promised to put it on. He didn’t have a backpack when he arrived at his destination.
He tried to find his own things, including returning to the airport, checking the video of security cameras with the police, jogging on the roads around the airport, driving search, tracking laptops through Apple’s find my app, knocking on the door of high-end residential areas, and so on.
Along the way, he found the bag was run over, stuck in the cab, and then drove out of the airport by another shared car. The find my app shows his MacBook 10 miles away. The left and right earplugs of his airpods are scattered on different blocks.
But these technology products are not what he cares about most.
Patovi described his lost life manifesto as “a personal list of who I am, who I want to be and what I want to achieve in my life.” “This is a very old folded moldy paper, which is very precious to me,” he said
Patovi couldn’t find his belongings in the residential development – the residents closest to “discover my app” Ping didn’t open the door.
But on Friday morning, he received a message from the building manager, who contacted him and retrieved his laptop and “other personal items”. Patovi returned to the development stage with mixed results.
On a twitter post on Friday afternoon, he said the laptop was undamaged and had endured countless distances through Uber. Everything else is in the backpack. But it’s not a declaration. It’s in a wallet and there’s some cash in it.
Patovi was still waiting on Friday to see if the construction manager could get it back.
“Don’t give up,” he said in an email to geekwire.
This legend eventually provided some valuable lessons for patovi, including plans to introduce more technology into his life. On twitter, he said he would use Apple’s airtags to “track anything of value”
