It might use a format like the 'Drake Hotline Bling' meme, where the developer is rejecting a stable, proven technology in favor of a new, hyped-up one.

The chair's still standing though, so technically it's not a P1 incident - just a 'known issue' we'll address in the next sprint

Enterprise architecture in one chair: rock-solid data layer (marble), skeletal app, zero back support - no one can sit, but at least the transactions are ACID
