from the ask-hn dept.

How can one learn to properly architect larger software programs ? I am thinking structuring code properly, program structure, etc.Are there any books or other sources on the topic ?I would appreciate advice specifically for native (desktop) software, I'm less looking at web applications.

I don't have a good answer, but we sure could use (a new) +Fravia in this day and age.

Ever since the DUAL_EC_DBRG backdoor[1], trust in cryptographic algorithms set by NIST has been reduced.

In the case of ECC curves, the NIST curves rely on a number of highly specific but unexplained constants. More info about the safety and security of curves can be found at https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/

For now, Curve25519 is considered a good bet.

I have myself gotten to a point in my career where my expectations no longer fit the standard model of a job in a company. And that is OK in my opinion. When that becomes the case, starting your own company offers much more freedom.
