Interviewing for a job that seems pretty cool, and everything reminds me of how awful interviewing as a concept is.

Here's an interview with @bcantrill on how @oxidecomputer does it: https://www.whatiswrongwithhiring.com/e/innovative-recruiting-a-unique-approach-to-hiring-with-bryan-cantrill/

Man, honestly I really hope quantum kills everything we know today about key exchange. Imagine the level of necessary research this would spawn. No more bullshit, just focusing on saving humanity as we know it. Stuff that matters. Like back before when we had secure messaging.

If it really is true that quantum algorithms exist for any hard problems, this would be really cool in the sense that we’d have to go through our own Butlerian Jihad. We’d still have hashing, encryption and signatures which is nice, but I wonder how we’d make do without key exchange, the same way they had to make do with mentats.

Nerd alert!

@bcantrill and @ahl interviewed Andres Freund, the engineer who discovered the xz backdoor, on the latest Oxide and Friends podcast. This is such an excellent episode. Andres is fascinating, but Bryan and Adam are exceptionally good at interviewing him. Everybody's so, so deep on systems.

Of course I also loved it because Andres talks Postgres performance. I know the spinlock he talks about personally!

The thing that bothers me about Tailwind isn't Tailwind; it's that everyone who likes it acts like a medieval crusader, determined to beat me over the head until I submit to the indoctrination, unable to hear any criticism, unwilling to admit that it's just a tool and it has tradeoffs just like any other tool, and above all, utterly incapable of believing maybe I was actually better off before they showed up.

There's no bottom. No depth to which they won't stoop, no collaborative process they won't game, and never a hint of shame. Galling. Stomach turning. And they use secrecy and opacity to cover their tracks.
