    I’m surprised nobody posted the xkcd comic. I think Randall had ImageMagick in mind (he names it in the alt text) but it applies to ffmpeg as well.

      I always used to think about curl when I see that comic. Maybe less important in recent years but still a corner stone.

        Curl is less important in the cloudverse?
