Episode 66: Set a Breakpoint in the Past - a podcast by Phil Nash & Jon Kalb

This week we chat with Greg Law about debugging and going back in time!

How do things change when we can wait for something to go wrong, then go back to any point in time and examine the program state, like The Matrix's "Bullet Time"? How is this even possible, and what challenges need to be overcome? We also answer that age old question: what's the first thing people ask for when you say you can give them a time machine?

Special Guest: Greg Law.
