The Digital World Balances On FFmpeg

The entire digital world stands on the shoulders of a single C library that some guy wrote in his basement in 1998. Every streaming service, every video call, every cat video – all powered by FFmpeg, a tool held together with duct tape and caffeine. The best part? Most companies making millions from video content have no idea their empire rests on this Jenga tower of open-source code. If the three developers who actually understand the codebase ever decided to take a vacation simultaneously, Netflix would just be a spinning loading icon.

The Three Stages Of Bug Acceptance

The evolution of every senior developer's relationship with bugs: First, you're naive. "I'll fix this bug right away!" you declare with the enthusiasm of someone who still believes in clean code. Then comes the bargaining phase. "It's not a bug if I can't reproduce it. Must be user error." *closes ticket* Finally, enlightenment: "That weird behavior when you click exactly 7 times while holding Shift? Yeah, that's a 'feature' we totally planned. Find it in the documentation we'll write someday." Ten years in and I've mastered all three stages before my morning coffee.
