Average Tech Startup Nowadays

average tech startup nowadays Update: Hi Stefan, seeing as it's FFmpeg running inside Bitmovin, perhaps this isn't a smart thing to write? Don't get me wrong, ffmpeg is an amazing piece of software. But there is a lot of effort in scaling and operating software in the cloud. I.e. using spot instances efficiently via a split and stitch approach, doing distributed rate control, multi/3-pass encoding, per-title, per-shot/chunk, etc. these areas are just a lot of work for media companies, and often results in huge costs it’s always either openai api wrapper or someone selling open source software as their own

A screenshot of a social media post joking that modern tech startups either wrap the OpenAI API or repackage open-source software as their own. The embedded FFmpeg and Bitmovin exchange highlights the irony of a company defending the value of its cloud infrastructure work while relying on open-source software. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to startup hype and questionable originality.
