A few months back, I started<\/a> publishing my bug notes online<\/a>, as a way of showing people what goes on inside a Firefox engineer’s head while fixing a bug.<\/p>\n

This week, I’m upping the ante a bit: I’m going to live-hack on Firefox for an hour and a half for the next few Wednesday’s on Air Mozilla<\/a>. I’m calling it The Joy of Coding1<\/a><\/sup>. I’ll be working on real<\/em> Firefox bugs2<\/a><\/sup> – not some toy exercise-bug where I’ve pre-planned where I’m going. It will be unscripted, unedited, and uncensored. But hopefully not uninteresting3<\/a><\/sup>!<\/p>\n

Anyhow, the first episode airs this Wednesday.<\/a> I’ll be using #livehacking on irc.mozilla.org as a backchannel. Not sure what bug(s) I’ll be hacking on – I guess it depends on what I get done on Monday and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, we’ll try it for a few weeks to see if folks are interested in watching. Who knows, maybe we can get a few more developers doing this too – I’d enjoy seeing what other folks do to fix their bugs!<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

  2. Specifically, I’ll be working on Electrolysis<\/a> bugs, since that’s what my focus is on these days. ↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

  3. I’ve actually piloted this for the past few weeks, streaming on YouTube Live. Here’s a playlist of the pilot episodes<\/a>. ↩<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
