Ask HN: Architecting Native Software Programs?

41599799 — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 17:46:27 +0000

How can one learn to properly architect larger software programs ? I am thinking structuring code properly, program structure, etc.

Are there any books or other sources on the topic ?

I would appreciate advice specifically for native (desktop) software, I'm less looking at web applications.

What things do people choose to do when they can have anything in the world ?

I don't have a good answer, but we sure could use (a new) +Fravia in this day and age.

Ever since the DUAL_EC_DBRG backdoor[1], trust in cryptographic algorithms set by NIST has been reduced.

In the case of ECC curves, the NIST curves rely on a number of highly specific but unexplained constants. More info about the safety and security of curves can be found at https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/

For now, Curve25519 is considered a good bet.

I have myself gotten to a point in my career where my expectations no longer fit the standard model of a job in a company. And that is OK in my opinion. When that becomes the case, starting your own company offers much more freedom.

Would you mind saying in which country this is ?
