- MontyCarloHall 4y agoOr 1/20 of a developer for 20 months. Does a mature tool like curl really need a 100% full time employee? I don’t think so—that’s about 180 hours of development work per month. What updates does curl need to justify that amount of work, in perpetuity?
- springogeek 4y agoWhat I read of the developer's blog suggests that it does. In addition to the resolution of various vulnerabilities, web standards are constantly changing and updating, and curl has to keep up, which is pretty hard part-time. Mature doesn't mean it's static.

- hgsgm 4y agoDoesn't need a full time dev. Needs a part time dev, part time QA engineer, part time product manager, part time tech writer, and a part time solutions architect for downstream and upstream.
