How it works

One real disaster a week

The news is real. The company is not. When there is real advice at the end of an episode, like a patch you should install, that part is real again.

01Monday to Wednesday

Something breaks on the internet

A CVE with a nine in front. An outage that takes half the web with it. An AI agent that deleted production and apologized nicely.

02Thursday

We write it into the office

The CEO wants it fixed by Friday. Marketing wants zero downtime. Security has waited its whole career for this. Someone's server from 2009 is involved.
