The classic Mac/Windows game DEFCON is still available on Steam. Its combination of vector graphics and an eerie soundtrack are still a good but sobering experience.

I was going to recommend this game as well.

I think the vector graphics are inspired on the WOPR computer from the film WarGames.

btw, that movie has a sequel which is probably the worst sequel of any film ever made.

Now... nuclear war strategies will change now that there are hypersonic missiles and scramjet vehicles.

In a completely different vein, there's also Nuclear War for the Amiga:

(Not my video; first one that popped up on a search)

I read somewhere that the pattern displayed by the CM-5 in the film was referred to as 'common and pleasing #6', as close as I can recall it. I've not seen a definition of the pattern other than it's actual output.

You seem to be in an org that has a well established process, and this can be a good thing. Many startups have 'requirements' scribbled on a napkin, and everybody 'just starts coding'. This type of environment is a little more 'exciting' than many would like. Perhaps you can seek to be someone who writes the requirements, or analyzes them for risks before they are passed to the developers. Learn every part of the process, and it becomes something you can bring to your next position.

I've seen this movie.

Sadly, this is for a timescale of two to six years. The researchers want to find out for how long DNA samples might remain viable, but they say that the chances of recovering functional DNA from millions of years ago is "rather unlikely".

SELF FOOT SHOOT DUP

Actually, what I saw on comp.lang.forth the last few times I checked it (coincidentally, I tried yesterday) makes the news not really surprising.

Aside from the spam, it gradually switched from passionate but respectful debates to name calling and plain insults from newbies to what remained of the veterans.

One could read very long arguments between Elizabeth D. Rather, CEO at that time of Forth, Inc. which she founded with C. Moore somewhere in the 70ies, and Jeff Fox (RIP), who was working at that time with Moore; Moore left his first company to pursue its adventures in hardware, making different "Forth processors", which eventually led to the RTX2000 which powered, notably, the Rosetta probe.

Or Factor style,

BEGIN ME FUCK AGAIN

Track down an old show called Denno Coil. Every character wears AR glasses, and there's practically a startup idea in every episode of the first season. It is so very Japanese that they used AR on a show from over 10 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennō_Coil

For US aerospace contracts, one of the standard provisions is the disposal and destruction of any remaining products and tooling. This is done for compliance with ITAR regs, to prevent advanced technical information from reaching other countries. No buying a booster prototype at auction for you!

What was bizarre about (aboot) the Arrow program is that the entire company staff were fired, and the Canadian military was sent in to destroy all records, drawings, test data, and of course the destruction of the six flyable aircraft. The program was replaced with US made BOMARC missiles, so there's one clue.

It is at times a good move, but make the offer before the rejection, possibly as being willing to work as a contractor and later go full time.

Your new manager is very likely to be a friend of the VP.

This video is fictional, and was made as a warning about where current tech could take us. I have no doubt that generals who have seen it are quite upset that they can't have it yet.

I realize that, I just wanted to drive the traffic to the original source rather than to some weirdo who uploaded a copy.

Thanks. I thought I had found the original upload after sifting through a lot of copies on youtube. Wish youtube was a little proactive with detecting dupes, rather than reactive. Or at least some sort of an automatic note/link to original even if it is a legal derivative.
