It Was FFmpeg All Along

The secret backbone of the internet revealed! This meme shows a tower of popular media platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, and even adult sites) all secretly powered by FFmpeg.

For the uninitiated, FFmpeg is that magical Swiss Army knife of media processing that silently handles encoding, decoding, and transcoding behind practically every streaming service known to mankind. It's the unsung hero that makes your cat videos play smoothly while you should be fixing that production bug.

The real joke? Some multi-billion dollar companies are built on top of this free, open-source project maintained by developers who probably get thanked less often than the office coffee machine.

The Career-Ending Query

That moment when your stomach drops through the floor because you just ran DELETE * FROM users without a WHERE clause... on production. No rollback. No backup from the last hour. Just the cold realization that you've nuked actual customer data and your resume is about to get updated.

Pro tip: This is why we have staging environments and why BEGIN TRANSACTION exists. Too bad we never use them when we should.
