Millions of people look up to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. My role model is Daniel Stenberg. You've never heard of him. His code runs on 10 billion devices, including the one you're reading this post on. He started building cURL in 1996. It handles data transfer on nearly every phone, console, smart TV, 47 car brands, and it was on the Mars helicopter. He's also the person who's kept it going for nearly 30 years. Tech has the wildest spectrum of any industry: either you're a billionaire with a biopic, or you're quietly running things for billions of people who don't know your name. > Steve Jobs got a movie. > Bill Gates got a documentary. > And Daniel? He's got a pull request backlog and an inbox full of AI bots. I get it. I run an infrastructure company One (formerly Pica). We handle API authentication and execution across 250+ platforms. Our code runs inside tools you use every day. Nobody's ever been impressed by this at a dinner party. But the most important software is almost always the kind nobody knows exists. Auth libraries, data mappers, execution engines. Look up Daniel Stenberg, Werner Koch, and Theo de Raadt -- between them, they maintain the code that transfers your data, encrypts your email, and secures every server connection on earth. We stand on the shoulders of a thousand Daniels. Most of us have never said their names, let alone thanked them. | 24 comments on LinkedIn

@bagder at my first professional game dev job in ~2006 I used libcurl to make our game talk to a web server for UGC uploads and downloads.
At my current game dev job I'm using libcurl to talk to a web service for internal telemetry of a game dev tool.
Thanks so much for the great library Daniel

@bagder that dependency on a single software or even person feels problematic to me (not your fault obviously) but I'm very grateful for one of my favorite command line tools!

@bagder
You are my go to counter example when people claim"No one would innovate without a profit motive"

@bagder You're not who I thought of when asked about who would be considered "heroes" in tech (as in names of note rather than necessarily virtuous), but I probably should have. At the time, off the top of my head I went with Kerninghan, Richie, Stallman, Torvalds, Turing, and Lovelace, my list could probably do with some expansion and revision, should I be asked the question again. I should also include the lady that wrote the software for the Apollo flight computers, whose name I should learn.

️@winniehell does that really make sense when it is open source?
i think a single software project has potentially better quality and security compared to many with spread efforts. the challenge is to coordinate the efforts around one project and that is a social problem
of course depending on a single person is never good (bus factor)

@davidak I have no idea. my argument would be that zero-days don't appear in completely different pieces of software at the same time. but on the other hand that doesn't matter if the chance for zero-days is reduced.
