Post-quantum encryption and distributed systems

Data encrypted today can be collected now and decrypted later. Why we built Feranor PQC Suite, what it does, and how it was governed.

Seven parts, twenty-three chapters, from the eleven core principles to governing AI agents, out today.

Conventional wisdom says governance is for large teams. A solo developer running a mission-critical trading platform needs it more than an enterprise does.

AI agents are fast, and speed amplifies whatever system they operate in. Scopes, four human checkpoints, and a kill switch.

Contract-first design lets two teams move at full speed in parallel. Waterfall never did. Here's the real velocity trap.

Notes from building and monetizing an MCP server with x402: five production bugs no test caught, and why they were all the same bug wearing different clothes.

Shared ownership is a polite term for no ownership. Why accountability has to be structural, not cultural, and what that looks like in practice.

A field guide to the five patterns that are quietly destroying your codebase right now. None of which look like a decision.

NASA lost a spacecraft to an undocumented unit assumption between two teams. Your last cross-team incident probably had the same root cause.

Why distributed systems don't degrade gradually. They cross a mathematical threshold, and the rules never changed.
