Summary

Daniel Stenberg, creator of the curl command, shares his vision for the future of curl in an interview with BrowserStack's Open Source Spotlight. He emphasizes the importance of staying focused and adapting to changes while maintaining a strong sense of responsibility for the tool's success. Stenberg credits curl's popularity to factors such as open source, endurance, portability, API design, stability, and timing. Despite occasional low-points, he has never considered stepping away from the project. The availability of better development tools like git and github have significantly improved productivity. Stenberg also discusses his experience live streaming on Twitch and giving presentations to large global audiences. His advice for fellow open source developers includes patience, community involvement, and prioritizing collaboration over individual contributions.
