Most importantly, I learned to appreciate the math behind the code a lot more. I learned how to hash strings with math first and then code. It made me realize how important it is to understand theories, computation, and linear algebra.

Thanks to @LastMileFund and @ShelminaAbji for giving women access to a free copy of her book. I was lucky to receive one and I feel like it was something i needed to remind myself why I'm here and doing what I'm doing.

1871, a tech incubator in Chicago, hosted a career fair to get to know some of the startups in the city. I met some pretty cool people today and got free headshots. @0xEthChicago, @_thegreenzone_, Quality Builders among a few

🔢 Key Generation: Choose two large prime numbers p and q. Compute n = p * q and φ(n) = (p-1)(q-1). Select a large, random integer d, coprime to φ(n). Calculate e as the multiplicative inverse of d modulo φ(n).

It relies on the difficulty of factoring large integers, ensuring secure encryption. It involves generating a public-private key pair, allowing anyone to encrypt messages with the public key, while only the holder of the private key can decrypt them.

A few CS trends I'm seeing: 1. Low code websites are hitting off 2. Generative AI is becoming the new norm 3. LLM Models are growing 4. Autonomous agents replacing jobs

About a year ago, I had a goal to give kids more access to coding books, but the problem is there are very few coding books for kids out there. I tested DALL-E to see if it could get me some illustration ideas for "Las aventuritas de Coco".

Number theory plays a big part in cryptography. Today, i learned how to use the Euclidean algorithm to find the GCD of two nums and how to prove it. Number theory and cryptography are super important for encryption and decryption
