If a Nobel prize equivalent existed for software developers to recognize their immense contribution to the field, Tatu Ylonen would deserve it for sure. It's great to know stories like this one.
- teddyh 9y agoThe real reason for SSH being an immense contribution is that the OpenSSH fork happened when Tatu Ylönen made the original SSH program proprietary. Now that I think of it, I wish they had renamed it to something without "SSH" in the name, so he and the SSH Company couldn’t keep reaping name recognition benefits.
