Ask HN: Did Luigi Mangione's background as a SD help him evade capture? Were there software developer skills that he used to evade capture, or is it more or less trivial to pull off this kind of attack for regular people? |

Step 1 - Shoot insurance CEO
Step 2 - Escape from the police by reversing a binary tree
Step 3 - ???
Step 4 - Profit!He would've been caught on the spot.
He was valedictorian of his elite private high school and attended an Ivy League university. He was also an athlete. By all accounts, he was an accomplished, ideal young man. The news accounts from there are sketchy. He had spinal fusion surgery "back home" before returning to Hawaii. His family lost contact with him for over six months. In short, I doubt his SD career had much to do with his physical/mental situation and his murder of the UHC executive.
