Oh my god, Kilroy thought, The fucking brakes.


There's a misconception with technopaths that technopaths can do anything electronic. Just fucking snap your fingers. You don't need to learn anything at all. In reality, this was not true, and if Type Oranges could pull that kind of shit the Foundation wouldn't even be around right now and Kilroy wouldn't be here to begin with. Sure, technopaths had accelerated learning abilities with code and mechanics and everything that runs on electricity, and there's a psychic link between those things, and you can go into and perceive it differently, poke around, do all that shit; but you have to learn how to do it. There weren't just coding technopaths; there were plumbing technopaths, and TV technopaths, and Kilroy knew a single clock technopath.

All things considered, Kilroy had done pretty well for himself in the realm of being a coding technopath. He knew a good handful of coding languages; about 20 or so, although some of those were pretty rudimentary and he was more likely to break something than fix it. He knew Python the best- version 4690.3 had been his favorite so far- and Sears used a language called Eliza most, which was a pain in the ass but it was what the ereader service was written in.
