Michael Greenwich, founder and CEO of WorkOS, explains AuthKit and CLI authentication in simple terms. He breaks down the device grant flow and why secure browser-based login matters for terminal apps. Short, clear takes on real-world use cases and developer tooling trends.

David Carney, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Tailscale, explains next‑gen platform work. He covers TSIDP for clickless OIDC logins, TSNet apps that make services appear as network nodes, multi‑tailnets for isolation, and Aperture, a private AI gateway for API key management, observability, and securing agent calls.

Reports that Iran struck cloud data centers to disrupt a major AI service. Living brain cells are running DOOM in a striking demo. New tools include an on-device Mac speech-to-text app and a web haptics API for tactile patterns. A bug-hunting service runs deep scans to find serious issues. New MacBook Pros with M5 chips hit pre-order and AI coding models keep advancing.

A farewell conversation about retiring from a long-running project and the memories that shaped its early years. They discuss Ladybird’s move to Rust and how AI helped with the port. High-performance JavaScript tooling built in Rust comes up, along with a resurgence of on-prem HomeLab setups. They also explore agent-driven workflows, changing software lifecycles, and worrying AI futures.

Burke Holland, a developer relations engineer on the GitHub Copilot team who experiments with AI-assisted workflows, shares fast, hands-on stories about using Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.3 Codex. He describes one-shot, well-structured code wins, building real apps quickly, automating small business tasks, agent orchestration strategies, and how tooling and roles are shifting with cheap personal software creation.

A tour of modern dev tradeoffs and engineering myths, including a revisit of the agent-month idea and how agents reveal hidden complexity. A playful tool adds game-style voice feedback to terminals to keep developer flow. A major browser project swaps Swift for Rust for safety and cross-platform gains. Cloudflare showcases a tiny, efficient server for code workflows. A discussion on attention scarcity and money as a strategic moat.

Steve Ruiz, creator of tldraw and an SDK entrepreneur, builds a high-performance web canvas and sells drawing tooling to companies. Conversations cover selling SDKs versus SaaS, pricing and licensing lessons, keeping agents productive, AI-accelerated roadmaps, internal tooling opportunities, and the idea of spatial AIs on an infinite canvas.

News about Peter Steinberger moving to OpenAI and plans to make OpenClaw community-owned. A tiny Rust alternative, ZeroClaw, claims minimal RAM and cheap hardware support. MimiClaw runs a local AI assistant on a $5 ESP32-S3. Steve Yegge warns about AI draining people and offers survival framing. A sharp drop in telnet traffic possibly linked to a recent CVE.

Brett Cannon, long-time Python core developer who works on packaging, governance, and CPython infrastructure. They chat pop culture like Star Wars viewing orders and voice-rights dilemmas. Then dive into Python governance, STAR voting, lockfile PEP work, portable/prebuilt CPython and tooling like Astral and python-build-standalone.

Paul Dix, co-founder and CTO of InfluxData and leader on time-series databases. He recounts sending AI coding agents on risky side quests and why he sometimes returns to hand-coding. They discuss agent-driven ports, test-first strategies, verification as the new bottleneck, building agent-friendly tools, and how small teams and product roles are reshaped by agentic workflows.
