Daniel Stenberg is among those rare breed of developers who put their heart and soul into their creation, a fading trait in the modern world of big tech that shadowy developers seem to be replaceable cogs of a money-making machine.
It's as if he treats curl as his mark on the world of IT.
- jiofj 3y agoMaybe if you work for a company you don't put your heart into your creation, but if you have a popular personal project that brings you a lot of cash I'm sure you'll be as dedicated as him.
- freeopinion 3y agoCurl is a money maker? It makes me very happy to hear that. I hope it is true.
- latexr 3y agoFrom Daniel’s homepage¹: > I work for wolfSSL doing commercial curl support. If you need help to fix curl problems, fix your app's use of libcurl, add features to curl, fix curl bugs, optimize your curl use or libcurl education for your developers... Then I'm your man. Contact us! From Wikipedia’s wolfSSL page²: > In February 2019, Daniel Stenberg, the creator of cURL, joined the wolfSSL project. Given that, saying cURL is “a popular personal project that brings [Daniel] a lot of cash” seems like a bit of a stretch. ¹ https://daniel.haxx.se https://daniel.haxx.se ² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WolfSSL#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WolfSSL#History
- globular-toast 3y agoFree software is full of people like this. That's why I use free software even if it's technically inferior. Of course, a lot of it is actually technically superior these days which makes it an even easier choice.
