@bagder Thank you! I hope it works out.

@bagder I am extremely impressed in how well the curl project is holding up. But also you shouldn't hold all of the weight of the world on just your own shoulders. Take care!
看到你们 curl 项目现在压力这么大,真的辛苦了。希望你们能挺过去,这个工具对大家太重要了。
@bagder Joining ranks with your wife here: Daniel, please take care of yourself. I totally get the pressure you are under, but none of us is invincible.
And don't forget, you are not just appreciated as a developer of curl but (in my mind anyway) first and foremost as a very decent human being. Given the choice between a healthy and secure codebase and your health and wellbeing, I don't have to think twice.
The world will survive a delay in fixing vulnerabilities in curl and you can use the time to recharge.
@bagder ”I am jealous of those projects that shipped a horrible bug at some point in the past that made the world burn for a while. They got attention and some of them then got funding and financial muscles to get them staff and hire multiple full time engineers. I sometimes think we would be better off if we also had one of those.”
👏👏👏
@bagder finding love in one's craft is the best life can offer. I admire your personal success. Bravo. And thanks for wget...oh wait... just kidding 😆
@bagder I realise the answer is probably "it depends", but are you able share indicative costs of a curl support contract? It's much easier to have a conversation with potential supporters armed with a number
@marxjohnson The rates we charge right now start at 2,600 USD/year for "Basic" support and 8,500 USD for "Standard", but there's always wiggle room and "it depends details" of course.
@bagder At least I am happy to hear that the reports are high quality. Many projects are drowning in slop reports.
@bagder thanks for your amazing work, but please, listen to your wife. Consider to don't stress yourself so much. Enjoy your life, you deserve it too.
@bagder hope you get through this and are indeed able to take a deep breath in between!
