🧨 FOOBAR: Pitch Your Screw-Up – Failure Has Never Been This Entertaining!
Ever been there? You hit “Update Server” and suddenly, not only does your entire company vanish into the digital void, but the stock market crashes, three neighboring countries lose internet access, and your name becomes the global word for "monumental failure" in 47 languages.
And that sacred backup everyone trusted? Yeah… you just overwrote it with your 12-terabyte photo archive of “Symmetrical Road Signs.”
Okay, maybe that’s a little exaggerated… but hey, we’ve all had our fair share of tech fails — big and small.
🔥 What’s FOOBAR?
At FOOBAR: Pitch Your Fuck-Up, we shine a spotlight on the most valuable resource in the business world: spectacular mistakes.
Because let’s be real — why only learn from your own failures when you can learn from everyone else's disasters too?
🎤 Here’s What’s in Store:
🔧 Fast-paced 5-minute pitches packed with technical tragedy
🔁 The Circle of Fucks – where every fail gets its moment of honor
👑 The Ultimate Fuck-Up Award – complete with a very real prize
(Yes, we already ordered it. Fingers crossed it shows up.)
🤝 Why Join?
Learn from real-world mistakes
Connect through shared pain (with snacks & drinks!)
Compete for the legendary FOOBAR Award
💥 Got a Fail to Share?
Did you survive a tech meltdown that still haunts you?
Lose sleep over a bug that nuked production?
Or maybe just clicked the wrong thing at the worst time?
We want your story.
Step up and pitch your fail in 5 minutes:
What went wrong
How it happened
What you learned
How others can avoid the same fate
