Quantum computing will break the internet first") Video Awesome · 20w Forget AI doom... Quantum computing will break the internet first Quantum computing poses a more immediate and concrete threat to internet security than AI doomsday scenarios. Shor's algorithm, published in 1994, can theoretically break RSA and elliptic curve cryptography — the foundation of modern TLS, SSH, and code signing. Recent breakthroughs from Google and Oratomic have dramatically reduced the estimated qubit count needed to break P256 elliptic curve encryption from millions to roughly 10,000, pushing 'Q-day' much closer than the previously assumed 2035–2040 window. Cloudflare has accelerated its post-quantum roadmap, targeting full post-quantum security by 2029\. The most dangerous threat isn't just 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks on encrypted traffic — it's the ability to forge authentication signatures on long-lived root certificates and code signing keys, enabling impersonation and persistent access. Migrating to post-quantum signatures also requires actively disabling legacy algorithms to prevent downgrade attacks and rotating all previously exposed credentials. 64 13 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/they-want-mediocre-developers--ayotqupqo "They want mediocre developers...") Video Awesome · 23w They want mediocre developers... A critical take on 'comprehension debt' — the growing gap between the volume of AI-generated code in a system and how much of it developers actually understand. Drawing on a study showing AI-assisted developers performed worse at debugging, and the 2024 DORA report showing higher throughput but increased delivery instability, the argument is that AI coding tools are accelerating code production faster than teams can meaningfully review or comprehend it. The concern extends to a long-term lock-in scenario: AI labs are subsidizing low prices during a customer acquisition phase, and as developers lose critical thinking and debugging skills through over-delegation, they become dependent on tools whose prices could rise dramatically. The post also critiques the incentive structure of AI labs profiting from token consumption regardless of code quality. 33 3 [See all Awesome archives](/sources/awesome-coding/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of/2026/04#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of/2026/04","name":"Best Awesome Posts — April 2026","description":"The most upvoted Awesome posts from April 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of/2026/04#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/forget-ai-doom-quantum-computing-will-break-the-internet-first-82xjce0tc","name":"Forget AI doom...
