There is a piece of software running on 20 billion devices right now.

→​Your phone uses it.
→Your car uses it.
→Your TV uses it.

​It’s even on Mars, running inside NASA's Ingenuity helicopter.
​It was built by one Swedish engineer in 1996. He still maintains it today, 30 years later.
​It's called curl.

​Here is the story of the invisible backbone of the internet: 🧵

​1/ curl does one thing: it transfers data. It sends a request to a URL and gets a response back. Every time your phone checks the weather or your car updates its maps, curl is probably running.

​2/ The creator, Daniel Stenberg (@badzio), started it as a side project to fetch currency exchange rates for an IRC bot. He wrote it in C and published it for free.

​3/ Today, that "side project" runs on:
→​92 operating systems
→​28 CPU architectures
→​20 billion devices
→​2 planets

​4/ Here is the part that shouldn't be possible: Daniel maintained curl without pay for 22 years. He was finally hired to work on it full-time in 2019 at age 48. He had been maintaining the plumbing of the internet as a hobby for over two decades.

​5/ curl has:
→​No VC funding
→​No marketing team
→​No board of directors
→No business model

​6/ For his impact, Sweden’s Royal Academy awarded him the Polhem Prize. He didn't start a company, raise venture capital, or sell out. Just pure engineering excellence.
​One engineer. 30 years. 20 billion devices. Two planets.

@tec_aryan @itsPolloAI AI doing product photography now??
we are so cooked lol

@mhdfaran The low-altitude economy report example is genuinely impressive
