@quinn @riana @danmcd @alecm i don't know that i ever wrote a full explainer. The term was coined by @normative on Twitter in 2016 in discussing the debate over encryption backdoors. He noted that when pro-backdoors people would demand backdoors, experts would respond, pointing out that this was a technological impossibility to do well, and then the pro-backdoors people would respond with a version of "just nerd harder and solve the technical problems."
