    I fixed a crashing bug in the graphics code, live on the show floor. Live debugging! Here's proof. Totally not staged at all. IMG_120514402271934.jpeg

    Only the truly dedicated bring their coding workspace with them to what is effectively a party. I will admit, that is rather impressive.

    "Oh, you found a bug? Here, lemme fix that. Like right now."

    Real time bug squashing at its finest.

    Even better when you realise they had to ninja an internet connected to download python, then hack their build scripts to only build what is needed in order to reduce compilation time down from hours to about 15min:

    It was our CEO who ninja'd the build script. And @garat who figured out the jerryrigged 4g python download. It was an amazing team effort. My co-workers rock.

    There was a keyboard under the desk. We hid it so we'd *look* like real pros ;)

    I think this crash was occurring on all platforms. The systems at PAX were Windows 7 with NVidia GTX 780s (I believe). But the bug in question could occur on any platform, any GPU, pretty much any configuration. From the crash dumps we've seen from the build that's out it was pretty common. We're working pretty hard on tracking down all the crashes we see happening out there, so the build should be improving pretty quickly.

    If anyone has a consistent crash they're seeing, feel free to give us the steps to repro it. The more info we get the easier it is to track down and fix these issues.
