Spencer, what are you working on right now?

TL;DRSpencer Johnson is working on many bugs ahead of the 3.9 release, including shopping feature issues and a character customizer gender bug, which tend to appear when new services and tech arrive.

Right now is a slurry of a thousand different bugs as we prepare to get 3.9 out the door. One of the most recent ones was that quick buy bug. But I don't know if I want to talk about that now or if you want to wait for the ISC feature. Things are coming. Sort of what you'll see at the start of every quarter is the spillover of, these are really important issues before we go live. And they're always all over the place. And they always sort of pop up when new features go in and new pieces of tech come in; old things start to break. Even though our team hasn't done any feature work on the character customizer in months, there's a bug right now where selecting your gender isn't persisting into the PU. Since we have a microservice architecture with a lot of new services coming online all the time, sometimes you see problems there. I'm just all over the place right now on bugs. That and the new shopping features we've added are also spitting up a lot of bugs.
