Disclaimer: I work at the incident company

This is one of those projects where the end goal is to build the scariest button possible. You cannot complete the project until you’ve pressed that button. You do all the work to build the button, then you have to press it.

Never not scary, never not eventually fun, but type 2 fun for sure.
