My first thought seeing the image was that these are really long pliers

The 3k unread telegram messages are making me uneasy

If the electrical connections are still intact, you can use some glue or tape to stabilize it, to prevent it from breaking further.

To prevent it in the future: always pull cables out by the plug, never pull on the cable itself.

That sounds super familiar :D

Anyway, a prototype is not a bad thing, if the managers know the difference. It's easier said than done to "do it right the first time" if you don't know how / what to build. Prototypes can be built to validate hypotheses and generally figure out what works, then build the real thing afterwards.

Is this how car culture emerged?

Public transport, and bike lanes

I expected this to be a rickroll. Got diappointed.

Is that a map they are standing on?

Try searching for "coreless motor", gives me lots of ebay results with tiny 7mm diameter dc motors looking like this: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.0qbVZk69iUxzXpp-87VHFwHaHa%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=34626bb8832b480226ede8e0a44a8013a56d9217b7cb576ec699024a06297899&ipo=images

Make one of those apps Wikipedia and you won't have that issue

is that because it's self hosted?

Correct. It's important to differentiate "gitlab" the software from "gitlab.com" the hosted service. An account is local to one instance, gitlab is not a federated system. "gitlab.com" is one instance running the "gitlab" software. You will have to sign up on each instance to interact with it. Some instances support third party identity providers, so the signup can be delegated to gitlab.com, or github or whatever else is supported. You still have to "sign up" to each instance though.
