+                        <p>Writing a video encoder usually takes months, not hours. In under twelve hours, I used Claude Code to build wav1c: a bare-bones spec-compliant AV1 encoder in pure Rust, with no dependencies. It decodes with dav1d and Apple's hardware decoder, plugs into FFmpeg, and runs in real time in the browser via WebAssembly.</p>
+                        <p>This talk is an honest account of how a former AI skeptic got there. It covers why standards documents plus an encode/decode verification loop suits agentic coding so well, where the agent needed steering, and what lower-cost custom codecs could mean for multimedia. You'll leave with practical patterns for using coding agents on complex, spec-driven work.</p>
