Three founders, one kitchen table, and a very honest end of year conversation. In this episode we look back on 2025, from moving continents and growing the company at pace, to ski trips that probably should not have happened, live demos that absolutely could have gone wrong, and the small moments that made the year memorable. We talk about how our billboard ideas came to life, what it is really like spending a huge chunk of time hiring, why Pete injured his back standing up, and why Chris’s idea of a death row meal is genuinely upsetting. It is unscripted, a bit chaotic, and a proper look behind the scenes at what the year actually felt like.

Finally, a recommendation-heavy, full-mailbag show. Been a while. New to the pod are achievements—watch your BreakingScore™ increase each time you write in to…

In this episode Seth Larson gives us a cornucopia of topics relating to Python security. Seth discusses the Python Software Foundation's decision to reject a significant grant NSF. Diversity is a big deal to python, so this was a no brainier. We discuss the upcoming PyCon US conference, featuring a new security track that fosters collaboration between developers and security experts. Josh is a huge fan of having a security track at developer conferences. And we close on a paper about zip and tar archives Seth wrote. It seems like we should have zip and tar security figured out by now, but we don't. Thankfully Seth is working on it. The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at
