Fictional problem card
Dependency hell
npm install. 47 vulnerabilities found. 12 critical. None fixable without breaking 3 other packages.
The scenario
You run npm install and immediately face 47 vulnerabilities. Twelve of those are marked critical while every patch threatens to collapse 3 other packages. Your terminal offers zero safe exit routes.
How it plays
This problem card adds 10 burnout to your sprint total. Counter the code category threat by playing a health, tools, or humor coping card.
Why it feels familiar
Every engineer has stared at a terminal after running npm install and realized 47 vulnerabilities require immediate attention. You will inevitably pick a patch that breaks 3 other packages anyway.
This problem card adds 10 burnout. It belongs to code and can be countered by health, tools, humor coping.
