Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-Bit Symmetric Keys

https://assets.buttondown.email/images/0f86b37f-5bdb-4151-928e-5e3812a29dc9.png?w=960&fit=max
AES-128 is safe against quantum computers due to the difficulty of parallelizing Grover's algorithm, making it impractical to break with current technology. Experts, including NIST, agree that AES-128 remains secure for decades to come, and no key size changes are necessary as part of the post-quantum transition.

Using Changesets in a polyglot monorepo

One of the nice things about working in a smaller business is you can enjoy using things that don’t need to scale to extreme sizes. One example in the software world is monorepos. While monorepos can scale well (see Google, Facebook, and others), doing so requires special tooling and infrastructure. With plain git, you can only go so far. While you can use it, it has meaningful advantages, ...
