Oh but your mom/grandma loved this scene. Hahahaha oh Gibbs so smart, just unplug the computer dummy dummies!

Reality: They're both frantically typing on separate machines trying to figure put who is downloading their data, and are trying to lock the account they got access to.

Gibbs: Unplugs their computers

McGee: uh, what the hell boss, you know they're in our servers, our infra, tearing through erasing data, why would you think that they're hacking on our local workstations?! You do know you just killed our access, right? Now no one's trying to stop them! Kindly leave the room, we'll need to have a full escalation and postmortem, unfortunately now I'll need to involve our entire chain of command.

I recall it was something of a challenge between writers of two tv shows to make the most ridiculous hacking/computing scene.

I might be wrong.

Edit: I don't find anything online, so I must be wrong.

OP has never heard of paired programming

You take the consonants, I'll take the vowels.

How would I know I've never heard of it

Ah, it's a practice that's sometimes done in software engineering teams. One key point is that one person in the pair is at the keyboard and the other person is reviewing their work, providing suggestions. I've never tried it with two people at the keyboard... but it looks effective... 😏
