š Introducing Flare Rouletteā¢
Ruben
Being a developer is hard. We're writing code throughout the day to find out at the end of the week that this code isn't working as expected. Sometimes, this can make us a bit emotional, we have a hard time figuring out what's happening, and we resort to measures beyond the non-programming folks' imagination, like talking to rubber ducks trying to find that one bug in our code.
We, as the developers of Flare, are convinced this should stop! That's why we're introducing Flare Roulette⢠today. Let's make bug-fixing great again!
The best way to fix bugs within your code is to not talk to a rubber duck or get a mental breakdown where you want to smash your laptop against the wall. Are you going to ask an untrusty AI for anwers? No! The best way to fix bugs is by talking to people, talking with each other, and having the satisfaction of solving a bug together.
Flare Roulette⢠is a new feature within the Flare application where everyone with the same exception will be thrown in a random chat roulette because solving an error with two is like a dream coming true.
You'll be paired with another Artisan, and the both of you can find a solution to your shared problem.
Can't find a solution together? No problem. By clicking the "find another Artisan" button, you'll be matched with another developer in despair with who you can hopefully find the answer.
This feature will drastically reduce development time and raise bug-fixing satisfaction by 42%! What are you waiting for? Register now and start bug fixing š¤

Lessons from the deep end
20 months ago, we started building Performance Monitoring as Flareās next big feature, never expecting Laravelās rapid commercial growth to put us in direct competition with their own tools. This is our honest take on those 20 months went, how weāre adapting to this new reality, and where weāre heading next while staying true to who we are. A dive into the deep end, without knowing how far down it goes.
