Quotes

\u201cCryptography started as a military thing in the beginning. But today everybody is using it without even know it. It all started with how we can hide communication from observers.\u201d

\u201cEspecially if you\u2019re in tech, understand that if you have one offer you\u2019re probably going to have several offers. It\u2019s not true for every field but tech is hiring and we\u2019re in a good position. Keep going, don\u2019t be afraid to say no or to ask for more time to decide.\u201d
