Inspired by some discussion on Hacker News about whether it was a bad career move to switch from “CTO” to “developer”, I want to talk about CTOs. Specifically, CTO is not a real job and you should likely not aspire to be one1 especially if you view yourself as primarily someone who sticks to engineering career ladders, either as a manager or as an individual contributor. TLDR: Don’t trust anyone who’s a “CTO” that’s not a technical cofounder.| dadrian.io
Large-scale quantum computers are capable of breaking all of the common forms of asymmetric cryptography used on the Internet today. Luckily, they don’t exist yet. The Internet-wide transition to post-quantum cryptography began in 2022 when NIST announced their final candidates for key exchange and signatures in the NIST PQC competition. There is plenty written about the various algorithms and standardization processes that are underway. The conventional wisdom is that it will take a long t...| dadrian.io
