A couple examples of using asymmetric RSA signing and encryption using Ruby's OpenSSL libraries.
require 'openssl'
key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(2048)
p encrypted_string = key.public_encrypt('my plaintext string', OpenSSL::PKey::RSA::PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING)
p decrypted_string = key.private_decrypt(encrypted_string, OpenSSL::PKey::RSA::PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING)

Principles of Adult Behavior

  1. Be patient. No matter what.
  2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn’t say to him.
  3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
  4. Expand your sense of the possible.
  5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
  6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
  7. Tolerate ambiguity.
  8. Laugh at yourself frequently.

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would
