I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.

Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation

Looking at the fragility of the internet, there is one pillar that doesn't appear to be on anyone's radar. That is #letsencrypt .

Lets Encrypt just works so is clearly not front and center lately but with certificate lifecycle being reduce further and further over the coming years, it is probably not wise to bank on a single provider where an over-run of renewals could DDoS them into oblivion.
