Isn't this about Daniel, the Curl project maintainer? Don't think curl is used heavily in Node.

I think Daniel started Curl in 1997, but if there is one person who thanklessly held a large part of software industry like this, that is Daniel.

Such a brilliant and humble person!

I'm sure there are a lot of Daniels out there. (The combination of "Nebraska" and "2003" tells me that there's at least one more, since Daniel Stenberg (a.k.a. Mr cURL) is living in Sweden.)

And I agree - we all owe him a lot. I'm sending him $5 every month via github sponsorship. That itself will not make him rich, but if all users of cURL did.. ;-)
