Ok, we're so doing that! I have the perfect picture of a monkey or maybe a nice cat gif :)

I think you're missing that the gif is created from the webcam facing the developer so their reaction to the error can be captured :-)

Yep you're right. If you could see my face now, it would be red :)

This is the best idea. Make a database of these GIFs. I promise I'll spend an entire day watching them.

Nice little hack I guess, but I'm just baffled how many people seem to be comfortable to keep a camera pointed at them at all time, especially when things like this are going on: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/27/gchq-nsa-webcam...

Diversity is everywhere.

Some people have very strong sense of self as a separate entity from outside world, they guard their privacy well.

Other people derive sense of self from community and self expression.

Yet another group of people simply cannot grasp potential tail event consequences of exposing so much information about themselves.

There are few people do know consequences, but also have a sense of just how unlikely a tail event would be and they deem it an acceptable risk. Whether they are right about their risk estimation or not is incidental.

This is a small sample off top of my head based on the people I know. Moreover, as people live, learn, and interact with other people their opinions change.

This is dumb. Why not a system in which the developer provide his inputs as well as the affected user all done by a dll that's carried by all the appliations on the company that fills the correct TFS (or Git/Svn/Etc) so you can get some interesting data? So many things to log without user intervention, plus his data, OS, version, date, apps running, stack trace, you name it...

and in the name of down voting, the idea of this news and post was done by hipster from a cafe...

" I have the perfect picture of a monkey or maybe a nice cat gif"

so 9gag does.

You seem to have completely missed the point. This is for when the app throws an error in development, it's nothing to do with live.

I set up https://github.com/mroth/lolcommits almost two years ago and set it to upload to tumblr - and it's a fabulous, fabulous thing to scroll through.

Also, add this to the error reporting function of Firefox. Every time it crashes, they get know what the person looked like. Fix only the bugs of the highest upvoted pictures.
