I’d say I feel seen, but it’s really dark in here.

Product Manager: Make a step by step guide of how they think the lightbulb is going to be fixed without explicitly mentioning the broken lightbulb.

Full stack developer:

The lightbulb is broken. Deploys a lightweight fix that involves 17 metric tons of chandeliers, stadium floodlights, sconces, and the necessary infrastructure to operate the street lights for a city of 500.000. His solution delivers a solid 100 lm of light using only 175 MW of power.

honestly huge respect to ops

I accidentally read the second to last comic as "handing out fleshlights". Would also work.

Support would be like

User reports lightbulb is broken. Tries to talk user through troubleshooting. Problem resolved by turning on light.

SRE:

• Receives a slack message that lighbulb is broken
• Realizes that they never got an alert when the light went out
• Fixes their monitoring thresholds
• Routes all broken lightbulb alerts to a slack channel nobody reads

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

Climate Scientists:

• The lightbulb is broken, and there's reason to believe that the ceiling might cave in
• Offers advice on how to fix the contacts, or to replace the bulb entirely, or put up struts to support the ceiling in an impassioned plea to the higher ups.
• CTO is committed already to candles, CFO wants to wait and see what happens, and CEO labels it as a marketing problem.

Today I broke a colleague's app, because I repurposed an unused app registration on azure, or at least I thought it was unused. I thought that would be faster than asking the admins for a new registration on a Friday afternoon. But I forgot that I had used that registration for my colleague 's application.

So when he came complaining that it didn't work, I just told him he had done something wrong and that he should just restart his computer.

Moths: we’ll see ourselves out, there’s greener pastures brighter lightbulbs out there.

Psychologist tries to help lightbulb understand why it is broken and how to fix itself.

Lightbulb refuses to respond to therapy, gives the silent treatment.

Psy goes home without success, falls into severe depression due to fear of never experiencing light again.

Overall I'd say pretty accurate.
