In this episode we talk about Wordware, programming with LLMs, and what it now means to be a developer. Robert and Filip explain how they're building tools that...

Our old friend Chris McCord, creator of Elixir's Phoenix framework, tells us all about his new remote AI runtime for building Phoenix apps. Along the way, we vibe code one of my silly app ideas, calculate all the money we're going to spend on these tools, and get existential about what it all means.

Chris Anderson joins the show. You may recognize Chris from the early days of CouchDB and Couchbase. Back when the world was just waking up to NoSQL, Chris was at the center of it all, shaping how developers think about data distribution and offline-first architecture. These days, Chris is working on Vibes.diy and Fir...

Jerod tells Adam about how bad he hates the taste of Gin, sips on some Generative A Rye (on the rocks), they open the comments section for a bit, and then land the plane talking about being alone, naked, and afraid.

In this episode, Abi Noda speaks with Gilad Turbahn, Head of Developer Productivity, and Amy Yuan, Director of Engineering at Snowflake, about how their team builds and sustains operational excellence. They break down the practices and principles that guide their work—from creating two-way...

I'm joined by Philippe Ombredanne, creator of the Package URL (PURL), to discuss the surprisingly complex and messy problem of simply identifying open source software packages. We dive into how PURLs provide a universal, common-sense standard that is becoming essential for the future of SBOMs and securing the software supply chain. The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at

Today's history lesson is about the non-markup language platform engineers love to hate, YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML). Ingy tells us all about how and why it started, how it evolved over time, and what's happening next with YS. Note: sorry about the audio issues in this episode. We did our...

Jerod is joined by Carson Gross, the creator of htmx –a small, zero-dependency JavaScript library that he says, "completes HTML as a hypertext". Carson built it because he's big on hypermedia, he even wrote a book called Hypermedia Systems. Carson has a lot of strong opinions weakly held that we dive into in this conve...

In this episode of The Tech Trek, Amir sits down with Matt Moore, CTO and co-founder of Chainguard, to explore the escalating importance of software supply chain security. From Chainguard’s origin story at Google to the systemic risks enterprises face when consuming open source, Matt shares the lessons, best practices, and technical innovations that help make open source software safer and more reliable. The conversation also touches on AI’s impact on the attack surface, mitigating threats with engineering rigor, and why avoiding long-lived credentials could be your best defense.🔑 Key Takeaways:Security Starts with Engineering: Doing engineering right makes security (and even compliance) much easier.Control the Full Chain: Building from source and applying best practices at every build stage significantly reduces exposure to CVEs.Attackers Exploit the Edges: Most attacks start small—with a leaked credential or compromised dependency—and cascade through the ecosystem.AI Introduces New Vectors: As AI tools integrate deeper into dev workflows, they bring both value and new risks that require thoughtful containment.You Can’t Leak What You Don’t Have: Eliminating long-lived credentials is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce breach risk.⏱ Timestamped Highlights:00:45 – What Chainguard does: securing open source consumption and curating safe containers.02:56 – Chainguard’s origin story and co-founders’ experience at Google.06:50 – Building minimal, hardened container images from source to mitigate CVEs.09:40 – Real-world example: how compiler hardening flags protected Chainguard from a high-severity CVE.10:59 – The invisible sprawl of open source in enterprise stacks—from Kubernetes to AWS SDKs.15:45 – How leaked credentials power cascading supply chain attacks.22:30 – “You can't leak what you don't have”: Chainguard's credential-less auth approach.24:30 – Most breaches come from known vulnerabilities—not zero-days.25:38 – AI and security: new use cases, new threats, and the need for explainability.30:41 – AI adoption in enterprises: security best practices still apply, just to new tools and risks.34:43 – Learn more at chainguard.dev and explore hardened images at images.chainguard.dev.💼 Career Tips (from the episode):Don’t wait for zero-days: Most real-world breaches stem from unpatched, well-known vulnerabilities. Ship secure, stay patched.Build from source: If you're in a security or DevOps role, aim to build and control your stack from the source code up—this provides auditability and trust.Engineering rigor is a differentiator: Whether you're launching a startup or working in enterprise tech, applying fundamental engineering principles helps you scale securely.📚 Resources Mentioned:🛡️ OpenSSF Projects – e.g., SIGstore, Scorecards, SLSA.🛠 Projects Mentioned: Kubernetes, Istio, Flux, Tekton, Cert-Manager, Cloud Code.💬 Quote of the Episode:“If you do engineering right, security becomes easier. And if you do security right, compliance becomes easier.” — Matt Moore
