I recently wrapped up a job where I spent the last two years writing the backend of a B2B SaaS product in Rust, so now is the ideal time to reflect on the experience and write about it. Contents Learning I didn’t learn Rust the usual way: by reading tutorials, or books; or writing tiny projects. Rather, I would say that I studied Rust, as part of the research that went into building Austral. I would read papers about Rust, and the specification, and sometimes I’d go on the Rust playground and

A while ago, I have started working on authorization and authentication at work. This taught me a lot about how modern authentication systems work. However I have always thought One-Time Password logins are the most mystical ones. A six-digit code that changes every time and can be used to verify your identity. How does the server know the newly generated one, and how is it really secure? In this post, I will explain what HOTP, TOTP is and how they work by sharing my own implementation from scra

Password managers are the vegetables of the internet. We know they’re good for us, but most of us are happier snacking on the password equivalent of junk food. For nearly a decade, that’s been “123456” and “password”—the two most commonly used passwords on the web. The problem is, most of us don’t know what makes a good password and aren’t able to remember hundreds of them anyway. The safest (if craziest) way to store your passwords is to memorize them all.
