Late to Orientation, Early to Everything Else
I missed the first two days of Code Platoon. Not accidentally — I was in Las Vegas for my anniversary and I chose to be there fully. The calendar overlap was real, and I made a call.
I regret nothing.
Code Platoon
The Week I Rode a Robot and Learned to Talk to One
The week that Code Platoon started, I took my first ride in a fully autonomous vehicle.
No driver. No steering wheel. Just a smooth electric box navigating the Las Vegas Strip at normal speed while my wife and I sat facing each other in silence, watching the city scroll past like a screensaver. Zoox. Amazon-owned robotaxi program, currently operating on a stretch of Strip corridor between major resorts. We caught one near the Aria and rode it down to the Wynn.
