Fun fact of the day: ffmpeg is written by Fabrice Bellard, who among other impressive things, wrote the JS PC emulator capable of running windows 2000 in a browser over 10 years ago that got me fascinated with emulators in general.
Fabrice Bellard once read all of TAOCP in 20 minutes before being absorbed into his own AI and is now ascended in the ethereal ethernet silently fixing bugs in your code. Blessed be the bits.
Amen.
He's like the Lebron James of the tech world from what I can deduct.
You wouldn't say Linux Torvalds wrote Linux. It's literally written by thousands of people.
I work with people like this, and I hate it when people say "I wrote X feature." No, no you didn't. It was written by a whole team.
