Jasmine, I know that session replay is one of those features that just once you use it, it becomes the way. How widely adopted is session replay for Sentry?

So I know one of the things that developers waste so much time on is reproducing some sort of user interface error or some sort of user flow error. And now there is session replay. To me, it really does seem like the killer feature for Sentry.

Not cool. Not cool. I do like the simplicity of a button, you know, and I do get the move to that. I'm thinking of things like cars, you know, obviously the real answer is like, I've got this button in my vehicle where it auto turns the engine on and off. So my engine has this, where if I stop at a stoplight, it auto offs and there's a button to turn that off. To turn that feature off.

Yes, and thankfully it's not behind a screen. But as you were describing that, I'm in this state of like, well, I don't want a screen, I want a button. But then you're making me think, well, that button really is just a physical button that's still just like the same button in the screen.

Because I'm thinking like if the screen doesn't work right or the operating system of whatever makes the screen work, does that mean that the button can't work anymore? You know, that's the concern I would have.
