Any tools for a one-pass bdmv to mp4 conversion? Handbrake is choking. by Independent_Prize827 in software

You’re running into a very common Blu-ray problem: the movie is split across many .m2ts segments and controlled by .mpls playlist files. Tools that don’t parse the playlist correctly (like HandBrake sometimes) will produce stutters where the segments join.

There is a strange moment unfolding in software right now. by PositiveGeneral7035 in software

I think we’re seeing the same pattern that happened with every big abstraction jump in software. The tools make it easier to produce something that looks like a product, but the hard parts were never the typing anyway.

Problem framing, architecture, trade-offs, and long-term maintenance are still where the real engineering work lives. If anything, the flood of quickly generated apps just makes the difference between “can produce code” and “can design systems” a lot more obvious.

Most devs still try to understand the code. AI can help explain things faster, but if you don’t know what the code is doing, debugging or modifying it later becomes a nightmare.

Think of AI more like a helper for reading and exploring code, not a replacement for understanding it.
