Ok so this one just isn't fair.

Two possibilities end up with me dead, two end up with millions dead, and one ends up with me being unemployed.

Sorry not sorry Team A and B, sacrifices must be made.

Wait, which one leaves you unemployed?

The lack of standards path of course.

Unless you work for the committee or for ISO somehow, then I don't think that really follows. C++ and JavaScript were both used in production for decades before they had standards, and the dissolution of the standards committee wouldn't cause compiler vendors to stop developing compilers.
