    Its insane just how important it is and the vast majority of the world doesn’t even know it exists. Truly unsung heroes (everyone who works on it).

      I’m surprised nobody posted the xkcd comic. I think Randall had ImageMagick in mind (he names it in the alt text) but it applies to ffmpeg as well.

        I always used to think about curl when I see that comic. Maybe less important in recent years but still a corner stone.

          Curl is less important in the cloudverse?
