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

As influential as those two people have been there are far better role models or people to emulate or admire

I'm assuming his invite just got lost in the mail.

Thankyou for all that you do. -
After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...
Have a good Friday everyone!

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
