Staging Environment

#23
Panel 1: In a cluttered office, a heavyset bearded man in a baseball cap and glasses sits at a desk sipping from a mug, a laptop open in front of him. A cheerful man in a suit stands beside him holding up a laptop whose screen reads 'App', with a sparkle beside it. His speech bubble reads: 'The AI built this whole thing in 20 minutes! Let's just push it straight to production.' Panel 2: Close-up of the bearded man in the cap, looking worried and wary. Behind him a monitor shows a flowchart with boxes labeled 'STAGING' and 'PROD'. The suited man, now wearing a lanyard, looks puzzled. The bearded man's bubble reads: 'We have to test it on staging first.' The suited man's bubble reads: 'Oh. What's staging for?' Panel 3: The bearded man holds a mug and looks flatly at the viewer, deadpan. The suited man smiles beside him, a laptop in front of him. The bearded man's bubble reads: 'To protect us from clueless people.' The suited man replies, with 'They're the worst.' in bold: 'Yeah. They're the worst.'
