Happy to have contributed to this article about a topic I’m passionate about!

Vibe coding is happening and it’s here, but we need to be real about what that means. It’s time to treat it seriously, and we need to know and understand the high stakes :)

Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible

As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

Hot Take: MCP is not an “API for agents” it’s more like a patch for legacy code. “Older” applications which prevent programmatic access to components are patched by MCP. Is this the right solution? Time will tell.

Every time I hear “SaaS will go to zero with Vibe Coding” I’m convinced there is a fundamental misunderstanding about what makes enterprise software “enterprise”.

Inflation incentivizes consumption because the net value of liabilities gets lower overtime. Inflation is a monetary policy phenomenon. So it's not far fetched to think that inflationary monetary policy will continue for a country in which consumption represents 70% of the economy.

Do you trust your workloads—or your cloud?
On Oct 16, learn when to rely on TEEs, when container-native isolation is enough, and how to combine both.

There are headshots of Lewis Denham-Parry, Staff Solutions Engineer, and Marina Moore, Head of Research. There is also a pink axolotl cartoon in a purple and yellow lucha libre costume with the text "Runtime Rumble" underneath them.

For the last couple of weeks I have been hard at work evaluating wether to buy a Framework laptop or to buy an "old" M1 Macbook Air and install Asahi Linux to have a dedicated Linux laptop.

Is anyone running the latter? Thoughts?

I’m randomly craving Paraguayan food after watching some YouTube food videos and I don’t think Asunción is an option. Miami better have a group of Paraguayans that can make this happen right?

It may sound difficult but I teleported to the field today to celebrate the third GaTech win in a row. Will I be excited about college football again after all these years 🏈 ?

Medical device testing is fascinating. I guess my iPhone 11 Pro will have to stick around a bit longer 😂

How did we let phone manufacturers make it okay to charge $1000+ for a piece of equipment that doesn’t come with a charging brick? We are literally paying $1000+ for devices that don’t have every accessory needed for daily use.

That was an excellent read on product strategy even outside the wealth of Identity Security in-depth breakdown.

AI applications introduce a fundamentally new and expanded threat surface. Your traditional security boundaries are no longer enough. The key to securing these applications? A hardened runtime.

True disruption redefines the entire platform, rendering old advantages irrelevant and demanding a willingness to build for a new reality, even if it cannibalizes your current success.

That’s actually super useful. I have family member’s garage doors/ community doors on mine.

That and having my hotel key in it was fun but then they stop allowing them on carry on and I’m not going to check a bag for it 😞

Hybrid cloud isn’t a step back. It’s the future of AI infrastructure. Here’s why enterprises are recalibrating how they run models and GPUs:

They are definitely "maintstream" now but I think having next to Oreos is going to be a game changer haha.

Forget about Cybersecurity M&A discussions. Havanna Argentinian Alfajores are hitting mainstream groceries (Costco & Publix). The snack game is about to change. Nabisco, Ferrero Group and Pepperidge Farms better get their M&A teams ready 😂
