Listened to Open Source Security: Sovereignty, policy, and OpenUK with Amanda Brock
Post details
Josh welcomes Amanda Brock from OpenUK to chat about sovereignty, policy, open source, and a whole host of other topics. Amanda has front row seat into how sovereignty decisions can affect a county and its open source. It seems sometimes like open source is a global phenomenon, but there are always country wide considerations. This is what the OpenUK is doing in the UK. The discussion is great and the things the OpenUK is dealing with will affect many of us moving forward, even if we would prefer to ignore our digital borders.

The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.

They said like a 10% risk that isn't actually backed up by any facts. They made it up. But you know what is 100% risk to humanity backed up by science and data? Climate change. Why don't people focus on actual risk to humanity?

Listened to Open Source Security: The curl summer of Bliss with Daniel and Stefan
Post details
Josh chats with Daniel and Stefan from curl about their summer of bliss. Curl stopped taking vulnerability reports for a month and nothing much happened really. Daniel and Stefan have a really pragmatic view of all the new LLM powered vulnerability detection tools. The cost of finding a vulnerability has dropped dramatically, but the cost of fixing those bugs hasn't changed. Taking some time off is important for anyone in the middle of these reports. Daniel and Stefan have some great experience and ideas on how to make this all happen. It's great advice for anyone working on software, not just open source.
