When shown the huge list of operating systems curl runs on, people often ask me which is the strangest, or hardest, operating system to keep curl support for. The answer is always, and will probably always remain: Windows.

No other operating system has so many custom, special, weird and quirky ways that require special-case solutions in the code.

ME: A rawhide book for dogs.

PETCO CEO: What's it about?

ME: It's sort of a chews your own adventure.

PETCO CEO: Get out of my office.

Quoting something I said in a Tumblr reply:

"the problem is that I'm allergic to overly smart devices, I break out in screwdrivers"

Goofus: ‘<X> is open source! Get involved, write a patch yourself! It’s easy, isn’t it? No, you don’t understand our codebase, rewrite everything!’

Gallant: ‘Hey, this is useful feedback. Mind if I add it to the set of issues we’re tracking? And is it okay — only if you have time/energy — if I ask a few questions to see where you’re coming from?'

This is a perfectly normal human town full of normal humans doing normal human things. Please move along, there is nothing to see here.
