Glad you liked it. Unfortunately, core files can be massive and require you to have a lot of the assets from the environment the fault occurred in to debug. Last but not least, it would be good if they gave us more of a head-start on root cause. These are all things we're directly tackling at Backtrace.
That sounds interesting. I heard about you all through Abel at Surge last month and I'm looking forward to checking that out.
I work primarily on illumos, where we do dump program text, and we're working on getting CTF everywhere. It's almost always possible to debug without the original binaries and usually on different systems as well.

Oh, cool! We hope to publish something soon on this. ;-)
It would be great to learn more about the work you're doing.
