Fix Blockers Fast and Stressless — Alina Lova Lightning Talk (wroclove.rb 2024)

Alina Lova's wroclove.rb 2024 lightning talk on handling production blockers calmly, using a real file-upload issue at SoftSwiss that turned out to be a Chrome permissions problem on macOS. She frames her talk as a shorter, practical counterpart to Maciej Rząsa's 'Debug like a scientist' talk earlier that day.
