Another movie pitch:
Due to management decision, a code freeze has been mandated to the main branch. 50 feature branches have accumulated waiting to be merged.
Management has now finally approved to lift the code freeze - but only for 24 hours. Will the poor engineering team manage to merge all feature branches in time?

Is there a robust test suite? Merge, test, merge, test, patch, merge, test

Here’s one for a TV show. In 2022, a crack quality assurance team was made redundant by a CTO for a botched product launch they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximally unstable job market to the LinkedIn underground. Today, still wanted by recruiters, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a broken codebase, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the QA-team.
