Part 3: Assignment #1: Security Camera (Fake)

Security Camera (Fake)



They’re starting me off easy with this fake security camera. Once you get rid of the security-camera-shaped casing, it's basically two lights. That blink. That’s it. I don't even have to hook up a motor to make it turn, or anything.

I’m a little relieved, to be honest. When Carl mentioned the last guy, I was worried I’d come up against something super-duper challenging— that I’d be following him out the door. Now, I’m a little bit skeptical...

I’ve found the design abandoned by the last guy. He even wrote, “why is this so hard? :(” in comments before bailing…!
 Carl said I was almost certain to do better than him, and I’m inclined to agree.

From what I could see, he did get the first light working — turn it off (even though it starts off), wait, turn it on, wait some more, repeat forever — but he couldn’t figure out the second light after that? Really?

Job's done, and I’m pretty sure my predecessor was a fraud. This only took me a few minutes to finish.



It’s an auspicious beginning for me, at least. That said, things can only really go uphill from here...
