FFmpeg Goes To Washington

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern development! Above ground, we see a sad little developer trudging through a grassy wasteland, utterly ABANDONED at a funeral while everyone else is busy swooning over some happy couple. Meanwhile, BENEATH THE SURFACE lies the REAL party - where all the cool programming languages and tools (VS Code, Node.js, JavaScript, Java) are having the time of their lives! It's the perfect metaphor for our existence - suffering in silence while our code has more social interaction than we do! The crushing irony? We create these amazing tools that connect the world while we're too busy debugging to attend our friend's wedding. The digital basement dwellers creating everyone else's happiness! Such is the glamorous life we've chosen! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*

Every production codebase has that one mysterious artifact nobody dares to touch. The image shows a decade-old codebase represented as a precarious tower of blocks, with "some godforsaken png of a random turtle that serves no evident purpose" pointed out at the bottom. The truth is, we've all been there. That random image file buried in the assets folder that might be powering the entire authentication system for all we know. Remove it? Sure, if you want to watch the world burn. That turtle is probably holding up more technical debt than your entire DevOps team. Ten years of spaghetti code, legacy systems, and band-aid fixes, all potentially hinging on a turtle PNG that some intern added as a joke in 2013. It's not a bug at this point—it's a structural support beam.

Ah, the classic tech industry loyalty paradox. When OpenAI had that whole leadership meltdown, some employees heroically stayed aboard the sinking ship while others frantically updated their LinkedIn profiles. The joke here is that some folks weren't exactly "choosing" to stay loyal—they just had zero other employment options. It's like telling everyone you're "taking a sabbatical" when your inbox has tumbleweeds rolling through it. Nothing says "company loyalty" quite like the absence of alternatives.
