In this post, we walk through the split relay plus transceiver architecture we built to preserve standard WebRTC behavior…

I had graduated from college almost two years prior and, while I had luckily found a job, I was unsuccessful in finding friends. Each night, I would look up “how to make friends after college” and find the same advice given every time: “do your hobby with other people, frequently”.

In the first month I just wrote the specification document. The rationale for the new data type, the C structures, the sparse representation used, the exact semantics of the array cursor for ring buffer and ARINSERT. I started writing for days a long specification by hand, then I paired with Opus initially, then GPT 5.3 was released and I switched all the design and development with Codex.
