I’m always looking for more time and space to get things done. For every useful unit of actual hands-on-keys work time I spend writing thought leadership pieces, or time on briefing and advisory calls with innovative vendors, there must be a corresponding amount of time away from the computer to realign my thinking and grasp the connections between technology categories and their value to end customers. As humans, we never expected to be as fully engaged as we are now, with per-worker productivity at an all time high, a pocket supercomputer that constantly nags us for attention wherever we go,

Mid/ Senior Full-Stack Engineer at yhangry

Yhangry is like Airbnb, but for finding a chef to cook for an event: Their birthday, a hen party or a family Christmas gathering. We’re changing the lives of chefs: Chefs earn 3x more than working in a restaurant, whilst working fewer hours. E.g. Chefs working 60 hours per week can maintain the same income by just doing 1-2 private dining events per week. We are backed by Y Combinator (just like Airbnb, Coinbase, and other unicorns) and featured on Dragons’ Den. Why this is a great time to join? 📈 We grew 8x in the past 2 years. 💰

Vulnerability-Free Java Containers: A Practical Guide

In today’s cloud native landscape, securing Java applications isn’t just about the code we write but the entire container stack. While Java has maintained a strong security record, incidents like Log4Shell have shown us that vigilance is crucial. We need a comprehensive approach to preventing vulnerabilities, from the Java JRE base container image to our Java application dependencies and the application code itself. Last year, I worked with a client who complained about vulnerabilities in their container base image for Node.js. That triggered me to do more research on base images, including Java. The State of Java Container Images I

Secure coding beyond just memory safety

Software security expert Tanya Janca, author of Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding and Staff DevRel at AppSec company Semgrep, joins Ryan to talk about secure coding practices. Tanya unpacks the significance of input validation, the challenges of trusting data sources, and the intersection of security and law. Bonus: what she learned trying to secure a Canadian national election. Episode notes: Semgrep is an AppSec platform that lets devs deploy static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and secret scans. Explore their docs. Tanya is the author of Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding and Alice and Bob

Video: How to run dependency audits with GitHub Copilot

Every software project faces the inevitable challenge of dependency management. Over time, dependencies become outdated, leading to security vulnerabilities. Others go unused, needlessly bloating build times. For many development teams, addressing these issues means running manual scripts, reviewing output files, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks. I recently transformed this error-prone manual process into an automated solution using a few tools on GitHub—GitHub Copilot, GitHub Actions, and Dependabot, to be specific (just in case you’re wondering). Here’s how you can do the same! So, let’s jump in (and make sure to watch the video above, too!). The problem with
