Rob Ocel and Adam Barrett talk with Jason Laster, CEO and co-founder of Replay. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Replay is an innovative browser development tool that is revolutionizing the way developers approach time travel debugging and bug fixing.

This episode highlights all the reasons why Replay is such an amazing tool and all the problems it solves for developers. Jason shares the background on where the concept of time travel debugging came from, and how it actually works in Replay. The idea that you can capture a bug once and replay it as many times as needed enables developers to zoom in and identify the root cause of the issue. This approach saves infinite time, as you no longer have to rely on guesswork or spend hours reproducing bugs.
