You're getting interviewed as an expert on live cable news in a developing story. Given your line of work/expertise, what is the worst catastrophe that could currently be occurring?
badly written code caused a satellite to deorbit itself and crash into the disability department of the unemployment office
my line of work is healthcare so... *thousand-yard stare*
The Factorio 2.0 release has been cancelled and fans are rioting. (I'm just a player, not a game dev, but sometimes live cable news has to take whoever's on the scene.)
Or my actual job as a sound tech - some festival speaker system is feeding back extremely loudly and instead of taking two seconds to fix it I'm being pulled aside for an interview (that nobody can hear because of feedback.) Tens of people could have mild tinnitus for an hour!
meow < (nintendo has just decided to start murdering fangame creators)
Oh god, that just gave me another awful one: Wizards finally just buy OneBookshelf.
fungible collectibles no longer sparkle and make a pleasing sound when you touch them
probably some kind of catastrophic infrastructure failure. or maybe onedrive broke again
My state supreme court probably did something real bad, particularly if it was a case I'd worked on in some capacity and the press found out about that.
A "trusting trust" style exploit originating from low in the stack would be ruinous.
