The last US AVC patent expires in November 2027. Until then ffmpeg-wasi's H.264 encoder ships on sufferance, on Cisco's binaries taught to run under WASI.
A change that ships without a version bump reaches nobody, and nothing tells you. Ten minutes in a throwaway directory to see it happen, and then catch it.
A post hit Hacker News and the analytics showed pages far heavier than a static site should be. The cover images were the payload.
A dozen agent sessions running at once is not a capacity problem. Working out which of them is stuck is, and the obvious way to find out is the wrong one.
FFmpeg assumes a disk it can seek around in. Giving it a convincing in-memory filesystem, and testing the behaviour that would hurt most first.
I run a coding session per repository and they can't talk to each other. For a while the thing carrying messages between them was me, and I kept getting it wrong.
Three HIGH advisories deep in a Rust dependency tree, a one-line fix that changed nothing, and eleven minor bumps that were never mine to make.
I put my working practice on a public shelf, and then took some of it back off again. Working out which half was the interesting part.
afmpeg shipped single input to single output. Adding multi-pad filter graphs and multi-output muxing: one decode, two files, one pass.
