gollark: You can actually run it in one of the many CC emulators which run out of the game, too, and this is where I do much of the testing.
gollark: Also it's entirely stored on pastebin and has no version control and is split across probably 15 different files.
gollark: I added a thing where I can remote into potatOS computers for... definitely debugging purposes... and run code, which makes it much easier to patch sandbox escapes where silly triangles don't release the code.
gollark: The sandboxing stuff makes up probably the majority of the code, and holes in the sandbox get discovered every month or so and quickly patched.
gollark: Maybe two years?
