I have now  worked longer for wolfSSL than I previously did for <a href=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/2014\/01\/13\/this-is-my-first-day-at-mozilla\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5377\">Mozilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have said it before and I will say it again: working full time on curl is my definition of living the dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining wolfSSL was not just me changing employer, it changed everything for me. First, I am not just a regular employee, I am the lead curl developer and the curl support we offer for commercial customers is unparalleled. No other business or individuals can offer the same level of support, knowledge, experience, insights and ability to merge fixes and changes back into curl mainline.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8943\" style=\"width:127px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol.png 789w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-200x175.png 200w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-450x394.png 450w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-768x672.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>At wolfSSL we offer commercial services around and <a href=\"https:\/\/curl.se\/support.html\">support for curl<\/a> and libcurl. Contract development of new features, debugging, fixing problems and just about every other aspect of getting users get better use of (lib)curl in their products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this change has been good for curl and curl project as well. The last five years have seen more and faster development than any other previous five year period. I have been able to work intensely and a lot on curl, When fixing bugs and adding features for customers, but even more just the general improving of things for everyone that the money from support customers makes possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years ago now, on February 2nd 2019, I started working for wolfSSL doing curl full time.
