khana··on Why I Moved Back from Gradle to Maven
Concur. I found Gradle to be to far removed from the truth so to speak. I like Maven's declarative xml and its promulgation of the build life-cycle. This makes a complex build easier to maintain in the long run imo.

khana··on On the Impending Crypto Monoculture (2016)
Why personify crypto? Let the math alone be the driver in this domain. What is solid and true will eventually trickle up.

If only!
khana··on Does It Make Sense for Programmers to Move to the Bay Area?
Pretend you live in the bay area and use Skype.
khana··on I'm giving up on PGP
The 'deficiency' of PGP lay in the leaky nature of the computer itself. How do you maintain your all important private keys? On disk? In memory? USB? All are leaky from the get go. And this, I posit, is the problem gents.
