Daniel Stenberg, creator and maintainer of curl, shares his approach to leading one of the world's most widely used open source projects. He works 50-55 hours per week split between morning and evening sessions, driven by a sense of responsibility to billions of users and a commitment to making curl best-in-class in every aspect. His motivation comes from user feedback, the project's independence from corporate control, and a strong personal connection to the work. He emphasizes leading by example, maintaining low bureaucracy, and fostering a welcoming community while upholding high standards for code quality and documentation.
