Have you ever watched a movie that had time travel, and watched a whole complicated plot unfold that could have all been averted if the guy with the time machine just went back five minutes before everything started?

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
