He’s right, SSH is widespread and easy enough to understand for, at least, programmers. It makes for an excellent tool for signatures. Public keys are easy to upload everywhere. And you pass much less as a nerd as when using PGP.

I actually always feel kinda cool when using PGP.

I have my gpg key stored in my yubi keys and use those for SSH so does that make me a super nerd?
