thank you for your existence

Subject: Just a quick thank you for your existence
 
Hi Daniel,
 
I was digging around in the credits section of an app (YouTube
on my Xbox, actually), and I saw “libcurl” listed - and your
name came up when I looked into it. I had no idea one person’s
work has helped support so much of the internet I use every
day.
 
I just wanted to say: thank you. Not just for the code, but
for the spirit behind it. The way you’ve built and shared
libcurl, all these years, quietly powering so much without
expecting credit… it really moved me. Most people never see
that kind of work, but I stumbled across it and it left an
impression.
 
So this is just a small message to say:
 
Thank you for existing.
