This software powers basically every video you watch… and almost nobody knows its name. FFmpeg is the open-source toolkit behind decoding, encoding, trimming, resizing, compressing, streaming — the whole media pipeline. It’s insanely powerful, a little intimidating, and it’s had some real internet drama along the way (remember the Libav fork?). Wild part: it’s still maintained by a small group of contributors. If you like this kind of tech history, follow for more. #ffmpeg #opensource #softwaree

Getting paged is a normal part of software engineering tho, especially when you have services that are critical for the business. Doesn't matter how much redundancy, retries, etc you have, things can always go wrong. Working on stuff that's rily high impact like Amazon orders software is cool, but also entails nights like this. It's just apart of the GAME, no stresssss just lost sleep loll. happens #fyp #oncall #softwareengineer #techjobs
