In this blog, I'd like to explain SSH to you as if you were my Uber driver. The point of this exercise is to pretend like you have no prior experie...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Absolutely brilliant, thank you! I learned also about those mambo jambo issues from authentication.
Tank you again - and you gained a follower.
After such explaination, that Uber driver will love getting into Tech 😁
LOL that's a compliment :)
The briefcase analogy really helped me with the concept of key encryption. I have struggled so much to understand why and how that works! I was missing the piece where the server passes the data back to me after it adds its lock. I have read so many training modules that talk about encryption, and none of them have been very clear about that step, leaving me so confused as to how the server unencrypts the data when it either doesn't have the key, or only has a portion of it. Thank you for clarifying that for me!
Aw love your drawings!
Waiting for the Uber driver to become a senior fullstack engineer at Uber
LMAO. And then they end up being my manager and immediately give me a raise + promotion. That's the dream XD
This is amazing!
Thanks for writing. I just think you should change the title. You do not know your Uber driver. He or she might surprise you.
Thank you for the feedback! I don't mean to imply anything about Uber drivers / their level of understanding of tech. If you look at the author's note, you can go to the blog and read the origin story of this title. It has some historical meaning for me and also what I feel to be a good hook.
Thanks for your reply. I was a bit narrow minded :)
Not at all! I did worry when I created this title that I would be implying something about Uber drivers, which I did not intend to do. I myself sometimes do Doordash food delivery, I have a lot of respect for these Uber driver backgrounds - some of them have taught me about business, law, and more during our drives.
Great explanation. It proofs people can explain difficult topics in simple words - and this is how it should be.
Your article reminded me of a book titled: "Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People" by Aditya Bhargava.
I'd love to see your book as well :D
BTW: I am going to follow you on TikTok as well.
Go ahead, you are doing an impressive job ;)
Great article! Thanks! I wish everyone could explain stuff like that instead of the typical tech lingo bombarding and assuming that the reader already has a degree in Computer Science.
Best
Cool explanation
Very helpful! Thank you.
Good attempt.
Keep going
Your story telling is top notch... It made everything come to life. Thank you.
Could you write about resolving merge conflicts on git/github?
That's an interesting topic. Let me do some research into it.
@therubberduckiee
It should be "digital"
Thank you, this was amazing, I feel so much confortable now talking about SSH
That public key authentication illustration is just chef kiss
I'm glad you think so. Credit to the Youtube video I sourced at the bottom of the blog for coming up with the 2 locks analogy to explain it!
Wow! These pictures deserve a standing ovation! 11/10, would hang on my imaginary gallery wall!
Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you very much for sharing detail information
