Currently in NYC trying to pick up a key my friend left with their doorman to feed their cat. Been waiting 20m and they are nowhere to be found :(

> I'm glad the work was contributed upstream and is useful to Pyodide and Cloudflare. But I think there is a meaningful difference between funding a contribution to an upstream project and funding the upstream maintainers who have to support it afterwards.
Any of the upstream maintainers consider blocking merge unless Cloudflare signs a support contract?
Not an easy process to navigate, but if you find an internal champion that can help make the case, maintenance can be funded. For critical deps, companies are generally down to budget some financial support if you ask and know how to work the process.

as a maintainer, seems nicer than getting a slop pr with no context.

Not on your list, but getting annoyed with streaming text. Just want to see the message when it is complete instead of getting blasted by large number of tokens rendering per second.

> If I understand correctly, my agent just needs to run `curl curl.md/targetsite.com` and it will receive the webpage in an optimized Markdown file format.
Yes, your agent can use it with `curl` or via the CLI, SDK, or agent plugins (currently Claude, OpenCode, Pi, Amp are supported). More info https://curl.md/docs/install
> Is there any specific depth until which curl.md will crawl?
No crawling yet. Focused on single page for now.

> Can you tell me more about the :: blocks thing. I didn’t know that was a Markdown element.
They are Markdown directives

This was a worry for me when leaving my full time job in 2022 to work on open source. Our OSS project was able to pay rent, but was concerned about healthcare costs for my partner and me (NY state has extended COBRA coverage, but it's extremely expensive). My co-founder lives in Australia, which has free basic health care, so he was up for leaving his job before I was.
Taking the risk was one of the best decisions I've made, but if I had a chronic health condition/higher healthcare costs, probably would not have been comfortable.

I'm not questioning his investment abilities, just curious what he offers that is strategic (advice, dealmaking, etc).
Aside: Saquon Barkley's (pro football player) portfolio is insane https://www.readtheprofile.com/p/saquon-barkley-investment-p...

> Martin and Mike both advised strategic angels instead of friends and family to fill out the round, so that’s what we did.
How is Kevin Durant (pro basketball player) a strategic angel for a monitoring/observability company?

> Delight is overblown, in my opinion
Nerdsnipe perpetuated by other engineers/designers admiring it on Twitter. Nothing wrong with that, just shouldn’t pretend that most users care.
