I didn't quite understand why they had to debug on the spot, thus working like 36 hours uninterrupted or so.
A sane working environment would file a priority 0 bug and address it during working hours.
I'm not throwing a rock but oftentimes this sort of heroic behavior is self-inflected.
Also why is heroic debugging required on something that is not production? The article mentions it was a "quick demo". Then who gives a shit? There's time to investigate. And this would/should NEVER happen to production. The whole point of testing and staging/UAT environment is to catch this sort of problems. Again, a normal day at work in software engineering and not something to kill yourself living on amphetamine like a commando behind enemy lines in WW2.
