I was in this story in a past life. I've been most of the engineering roles it feels. Luigi is the worst one to be stuck in.

After this job, Luigi tried to get out of the oven business but in every interview after this, "oh you've worked on ovens? Nice, we have a few oven problems to solve here. "
