Show HN: I'm creating fictional incident report on GitHub for a satirical series
Satoshi here. Thanks for checking out my post.
I'm an ex-dev who spent the last couple of decades in fintech, eventually ending up in management. I started this project as a form of catharsis after getting completely burned out by the corporate hype cycle.
What I'm "showing" you today is a GitHub repository of fictional incident reports. Each "release" is the technical artifact that accompanies an episode of a satirical animated series I'm creating called FinTrade Corp.
The idea is to ground the show in real-world technical failures. The GitHub repo is the "source of truth"—the post-mortems, the pull requests, and the bad code snippets are the real story, and the animation is the narrative that brings them to life.
I'm posting this here because I would genuinely appreciate your feedback on the artifacts themselves. Does the Root Cause Analysis feel plausible? Is the "bad code" snippet a realistic (and depressingly common) mistake? I'm trying to make this feel as authentic as possible to the developer experience.
The first case study that these artifacts are based on, "The Push to Prod," can be viewed here for context: https://youtu.be/EltUlQsFKyY
Thanks for taking a look. I appreciate ANY thoughts you have.
