#awarded
Developer of the year yesterday (in Sweden).

Developer of the year
Developers Day is a recent annual Swedish gala organized by the Stockholm-based company Developers Bay. This is its third year running. They have an ambition to highlight and celebrate Swedish software _developers_ (or perhaps it is developers based in Sweden?) and hand out a series of awards for that purpose. A jury that consists of six persons receives nominations through-out the year and then they decide which of them who get awards in six different categories. ## Awarded This year, I was graciously nominated as, and subsequently, awarded _Developer of the year_ at the award gala on September 12, 2025. Developer of the Year 2025 “certificate”, in Swedish The motivation, as shown in Swedish in the image above, translates into something like: > This year’s winner is a developer with a lifelong passion for technology and problem solving. His interest was awaken already in the 1980s with a commodore64 and has since grown into a career characterized by curiosity and drive. After starting his professional life at IBM, the developer has contributed to the open source world for a long time – both as a coder and as an ambassador for open collaboration. For this year’s winner, development is also a way to understand people and the most challenging part of technology is the collaboration between them. He created curl, one of the world’s most installed software products, with over 20 billion installations. Getting recognition for my work and many years in software development is truly awesome and heartwarming. It energizes me and motivates me to go further. Clearly I must be doing something right! I aspire to make top quality software entirely free and Open Source. I want to provided stellar tools and means for my fellow developers that make them productive and allow them to build awesome things. I try to explain what I do, how things work and I how I think things should be done, to perhaps in some small ways push things in the world in the appropriate direction. ## The award Yeah, this is probably a little navel-gazing and inside baseball, as this is just a (small) company and its associated network that give out awards within a relatively small Swedish community by jury members who given their public bios do not have a terribly long or extensive experience out in the big wide world. _of the year?_ Yeah a quite legitimate question could be what special action or activity I have done in 2025 to earn the honor this particular time and not last year or next, but I think it simply boils down to the fact that someone nominated me this year. Best developer? Comparing different persons working with completely different things in completely different areas and saying that one of them is “best” is certainly futile and of course not actually possible. We have numerous excellent developers in Sweden. In spite of that, getting recognition in the form of an award is simply wonderful. Thank you!

If they don't pay, that's fine. It's open source and frankly everything they ask for can be found in the open already. But I think they want answers from someone that speaks for curl and then darnit, I'm not going to do that for free to a huge commercial leach company.

MAGA Outraged Over Trump Epstein Update

‘We aren’t going to get a thing’: MAGA hits a breaking point after Trump’s latest Epstein non-answer
Conservatives are torn after President Donald Trump responded to questions on Tuesday regarding his long-held promise to release documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. While speaking in the Oval Office, Trump told Reagan Reese, White House correspondent for the right-wing media outlet Daily Caller, that he was unsure whether any new information on Epstein would surface. "I don't know," Trump said. "I'll speak to the Attorney General about that. I really don't know," adding, "we'll find out." https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1914794149024325909/?foo=bar Trump went on to defend the administration by pointing to the release of documents concerning other notable figures, including former President John F. Kennedy, adding that people were "amazed" by the completeness of the disclosure. Trump then vowed that "100 percent" of the documents related to Epstein would be delivered in the future. Some Trump fans celebrated the announcement and argued that the president would undoubtedly follow through. "Start sweating PEDO’S!!! YOU WILL BE REVEALED!!!" one user said. "Thanks for the update," another added. Many, however, were skeptical that any damning information would ever become public. "Doesn’t sound very promising.." one user replied. "We’ll see," a second commenter added. Even more were outright hostile, accusing the president of knowingly hiding data on the convicted pedophile. "He knows and we aren’t going to get a damn thing we don’t already have," one said angrily. "The longer it takes, the more guilty he looks," another said. Conservatives have grown increasingly fed up with what they see as stalling by the Trump administration. In late February, high-profile conservative influencers were invited to the White House to showcase binders they believed were full of new documents. In reality, the binders only contained already-public information on Epstein, leading to backlash and conspiracy theories from the right. The release came after Attorney General Pam Bondi boasted that she had the documents on her desk. After the backlash to the release, Bondi claimed she'd been duped by the FBI. A week later in early March, Bondi told Trump fans that she had a "truckload" of documents that had been hidden in the initial release. Now Bondi is facing accusations she's attempting to stall the release and sabotage Trump. https://twitter.com/r6Wish/status/1914126626977357928/?foo=bar "Shout out to Pam Bondi and Kash Patel for failing America," wrote a user. "Jeffrey Epstein’s clients are raping more children each passing day." * * * **_Internet culture is chaotic—but we’ll break it down for you in one daily email.
