The secret life of .well-known

ishan.page The secret life of .well-known

I recently went on quite a rabbit hole regarding the .well-known directory, and wrote about it.

It's a really nice anecdote where I see myself reflected haha, I'm just in the middle of something similar with RSA and Ed25519, and also the post-quantum cryptography scene.
But usually once I'm done investigating and I think I understood something well enough I simply bookmark the links, write some bullet points in my notes and that's it.

Do you also have this issue? Do you finish the investigation and start writing for a blog post right away? Or do you just come back to it after some time?
- Out of curiosity are ye planning to do a post about RSA and ED25519?
  
  I do want to, not sure when, but I'll find the time since OP gave me a bit of a boost in confidence I can do it :)
- Haha this is exactly me. That habit of losing the knowledge rapidly post investigation is something I'm trying to break, and that's part of the reason I banged out this blog post immediately after my itch was satisfied.
  
  The "I have to tell people about this NOW" vibe also carried me through completing my website (just so I could publish this blog post)
