Dwh:

  • the light bulb is broken.
  • asks marketing what kind they want, after a week they answer halogen.
  • dwh then asks backend who says halogen is deprecated, and says only LED is available, due to fire risks.
  • in the meantime, marketing got tired of waiting, orders a halogen bulb and doesn't tell dwh, and manages to install it, even though it's the wrong socket.
  • The light flickers and could break any second, but marketing is happy
