I've been pretty impressed with it lately. It was absolutely terrible when first released

Maybe I owe it another try.

As a developer supporting the Olympics at CBC, thank you for the heart attack lol.

Thank you for your work. Hope it's going well.

Surprisingly well! For my team, at least, we've put a lot of work in since Paris to better handle the load of running so many events simultaneously, and it's paying off in spades this year. Significantly less stressful than Paris thus far.

That's good to hear. Any interesting tidbits of the process that the audience here may appreciate?

Thank you! I didn't think I'd be able to watch the Olympics and I really enjoyed using cbc gem for the first time.
10/10, would recommend

We mainly use it to watch the local news and news network live, but also love This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Dragon’s Den and Murdoch Mysteries.
