Appearing Productive in The Workplace — No One's Happy

Looks like GitHub silently corrupted some index. PR #237 definitely exists and is closed (
github.com/C2SP/C2SP/pu...
) but is just... not in the list (
github.com/C2SP/C2SP/pu...
) regardless of filters. I briefly doubted my own sanity. This is bad.

This GitHub incident is insane. Merge queue commits have been reverting previously merged commits at random. This not only breaks the mental contract teams have with Git in general, but is subtle enough to be completely missed until something breaks.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

The notion of delaying decisions to "the last responsible moment" is important. For some decisions, that moment is pretty early. For example, we need to develop strategic plans and do customer and market research early in the product development process.

1) it's part of the job description for that level 2) The work intrinsically matters (and they care about doing a good job) "Make the org run well" is the domain of senior contributors, who have the skills and good judgment to do so effectively and efficiently. Juniors don't.
