@Replay has saved me hours of debugging pain this week, truly incredible technology...

tl;dr, record a trace of reproducing a bug, then step forwards/back at your leisure, retroactively inserting log statements. best of print debugging + interactive debuggers.

in this case, i did a thing twice and it broke one of those times.

i finally tracked it down by noticing a line that had only run in one of the two executions

i've always been a big fan of time travel debuggers as an abstract idea, but it makes me so happy to see that they are *actually useful* when you're trying to understand what a program does!

Doing the thing
I was shocked to discover today that there are *two* neighborhoods in NYC named Murray Hill. Guess which one was ranked higher when I searched for "Murray Hill" in Apple Maps?
@Replay Also, we've brought the Replay experience to Chrome for macOS, Windows and Linux. And it also supports macOS arm64. This was a tremendous amount of work but we think really proves that this technique works across languages and runtimes.
