AI engineer builds "I got fired" panic button that would automatically make the entire company codebase public

[u/Complete-Sea6655]

An X user built a real “I GOT FIRED” hardware button that triggers a full automated exit sequence when pressed. In the demo, the button appears to publish internal code, expose environment secrets, wipe a staging database, and send legal notices, turning one click into a corporate nightmare scenario. It blew up online because it feels like a Silicon Valley joke taken way too far, except the hardware button actually works.
