#3Daniel’s a true legend in the community. If only we all could make something even 1% as useful as curl, the world would be a better place!
Thanks Daniel!
Edit: my comment is not intended to disparage the rest of us. Clearly there is an element of luck to making something tremendously useful. That being said, Daniel is an amazing steward of a useful tool. Sometimes the job can seem pretty thankless for him (cough Apple) so I wanted to thank him!

it was simply developed at the right time to become the de-facto command-line utility.
But it should be a solved problem by now. No need for continuous full-time work.

It isn't a solved problem because standards are evolving. The most noticeable ones are related to encryption, but there are also HTTP2, WebSockets, QUIC and other protocols you need to speak on the web.
