What has he built that you like using that much? Honest question, not being snarky.

I liked Requests way back when but prefer httpx or aiohttp. I liked piping for about a month when it first came out, but jumped ship pretty quickly. I'm not familiar with his other works.

I also wouldn't begrudge the guy a laptop, but I do get what the author was saying. His original fundraiser felt off, like, if you want a nice laptop, just say so, but don't create specious justifications for it.

Those two tools are modeled after `requests`, so Reitz still has an influence in your life even if you don't use his implementation directly.

They’re pretty close, sure, but Requests itself basically models a web browser. The newer ones model newer browsers (eg with HTTP/2 and async).
