Codec development balances performance & security, especially with untrusted data. Touched on FFmpeg/Rust integration & potential for specialized languages like WUFFS for safety. #CodecDev 6/6

It pushed codec tech forward and eventually influenced AV1s design

(Image: “Rainbow vomit tiger” accurately summarizing how our daily codec experiments felt.)
