Really interesting take on software engineering, good read.

Hm it depends how much the user tweets about these topics, if at all. I'd probably say ~5k and you'd start getting decent results.

I built this in 24 hours to test that I could do it. The code was not meant to be pretty, it wasn't meant to be reusable. It was made as a "hack". I use hacker not to portray myself as a systems-infiltrator but in the sense

Glad you liked it, I'll try and do that at some point.

Fixed this I think!

In touch with you now! Look forward to what comes of this, thanks for taking the time to respond here too!

Still a private API. I can imagine finding an unusual account like mine is quite simple and wouldn't need automating.

I'd imagine they already have the code for a similar service.

I can agree with you, I understand why I was banned and I can see it is a valid response to the situation. I just want to make sure (if Uber have read this) that they understand why I did it and what caused the spike.

I understand why I was banned, I'm not particularly upset, I'd just rather be able to use the service again. I fully accept responsibility.

That realtime feel!
14.
by will3942 13y ago
Yeah, no worries, I completely agree this is not Uber's fault at all. Their reasoning is more than valid.

I feel that I should keep it up just for reference and educational purposes. This was in no way an attack, but a mere hack that was created in 24 hours. It was not intended to be damaging to the service, although I do take responsibility th

I seem to get banned, unsure why.

by will3942 13y ago
I understand this and know why they banned me.

by will3942 13y ago
I completely agree with this, I acknowledged this and realised I would probably get banned. It was more a case of letting people see how the Uber api could be used, that's why I've now replaced it with a video so people can contin

Currently looking for an internship for the summer, Uber would be one place I'd love to work. Unfortunately I'm not sure I'd be allowed in anymore!

I created the hack to benefit others and to create and visualise some pretty cool data. I know why Uber banned me, they probably don't want people knowing how to access their data. This is not a reason I approve of but I can see their

Just contacted Uber London on twitter, would love if anyone could put me in touch with someone. Would really like to use the service again.
22.
by will3942 13y ago
I agree.
23.
by will3942 13y ago
Ah, yes that would be another way!

Didn't seem to be phrased like that but thanks for the info :) think because everyone was at school and it wasn't a holiday it was less busy!

Unfortunately this wasn't the case, my friend (never visited America) didn't have to go through this, only me.

Every time I've travelled internationally, even before I was 16 I've not had this problem (being completely alone meeting someone) therefore I was quite annoyed to be detained for this long and be met by someone who kept probing m

The TSA agent was incredibly rude and didn't seem to want to listen to any part of my explanation, he could see I had a note from my mum saying I would be visiting with my friend so I don't see why I would have to be detained for
