At my job I work on a fairly niche piece of software, developed for one specific industry/market. The sort of thing where the customers are businesses/organizations, not individuals. So i don't really have a lot of opportunities to show people what it is I do. A few weeks ago I was mildly excited when my software showed up in a couple seconds of stock footage in a video from a popular YouTube channel. Imagine my surprise when I was catching up on the latest season of a big-budget popular show, and was confronted with a scene where my software is actually the focus of two separate shots! :blobcatcheer2: Six whole seconds of screen time, though the primary display widget was digitally replaced. They could have just replaced the whole screen but they kept in the rest of the UI elements (even though if you pause and examine all the data displays they contradict the overall narrative, completely breaking immersion :blobcatgiggle: ). Must have been filming on an actual location instead of a set. So that's my new claim to fame, ha :blobcatuwu:

    @yudderick@toot.cat Congratulations! I used to mostly develop apps internal to companies, and could not share what I did with anyone outside. Neat that you crossed that barrier! 🎉
