If you are starting out on your Argo Workflows journey, you’ll soon find yourself surrounded by the word ‘template’. Templates are a fundamental cornerstone of an Argo Workflow and allow you to define the work to be performed.
Dimitri Stiliadis, CTO from Endor Labs, discusses the recent tj-actions/changed-files supply chain attack, where a compromised GitHub Action exposed CI/CD secrets. We explore the impressive multi-stage attack vector and the broader often-overlooked vulnerabilities in our CI/CD pipelines, emphasizing the need to treat these build systems with production-level security rigor instead of ignoring them.

Celebrating a small win: I went from consistently failing "project deep dive" interviews with hiring managers to succeeding at them.
The solution? Preparing several STAR-organized stories (And asking my ex eng manager to help me remember some details 🙈)
Margaret Thatcher apparently slept for only four hours a day. Interestingly, if I sleep for four hours a day, I find I am also in favour of policies that make everyone suffer.
Join us on a journey to make believe worlds with our good friend Mat Ryer. The assignment; we each get to make up a new world where we invent a new gadget and declare a new rule. This episode is sure to delight loyal fans and especially those who enjoy Mat Ryer on the show and a good/bad song or two.

The kat is out of the bag! I start a very exciting new role next week that you'll all hear about Monday. Come celebrate with me if you're going to be at RSA, and thanks to @redmonk.com for the VERY sweet note in the newsletter!
Y'all be slacking. Where's the AI parody song to the tune of "Because I Got High"? Here I'll help you start.
Builds are failing today, because of AI
I deployed it anyway, because of AI
Production just went down, and I know why (why man?)
'Cause of AI

Guy Podjarny is the Founder of Snyk, the developer-first security platform that helps companies find and fix vulnerabilities in their code, open source dependencies, containers, and infrastructure as code.
Snyk has raised $1.2B from investors including Boldstart, Accel, Tiger Global, and Addition.
In this episode, we dig into selling security products to developers, the pros and cons of being open source (Snyk is not!), Snyk's fundraising journey and challenges early on, how Snyk has evolved over the years, the decision to bring in an outside CEO & more!
Paul Copplestone is Co-Founder & CEO of Supabase the open source Backend-as-a-Service company that provides storage, authentication, edge functions, and a postgres database to users.
Supabase's project, also called supabase, has 36K stars on GitHub and is positioned as the "open source Firebase alternative".
Supabase has raised $116M from investors including Coatue, Felicis, and YC.
In this episode, we discuss positioning as an open source alternative to "x", the benefits of going through YC as an open source company, how to judge open source momentum, learnings for other early open source founders, and more!
Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.
Meet a hot guy on an app says he’s in “intelligence” so he doesn’t have social media.
image search him, find out his real name, and gf, and all his hidden accounts. He was in the CIA.
I’m not Rihanna I don’t like the way you lie dude.
I added him on LinkedIn after just to be petty 😂
I chat with Alan Pope about the open source security tools Syft, Grype, and Grant. These tools help create Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and scan for vulnerabilities. Learn why generating and storing SBOMs is crucial for understanding your software supply chain and quickly responding to new threats like Log4Shell.

<p>The second season may be over, but the Severance Podcast is back with an extra special bonus episode, where Ben and Adam look at all of season 2 with some incredible guests. First, they welcome back everyone’s favorite brain-in-a-jar, Severance creator Dan Erickson, to answer your hotline questions and uncover the origin story behind how his brain got in a jar. Then, Ben and Adam are joined by the hosts of the podcast We Know Severance (Josh Wigler, Dr. Melissa Woodward, Dr. Amanda Rabinowitz) to talk about the real-world science of Severance — and two of the hosts are literal doctors, so they know what they’re talking about. Finally, Grammy-winning artist SZA comes on the pod to share how Severance has impacted her life and meditate on one of the central themes of the show: who are you?</p><p>To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: <a href="https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy">https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy</a></p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

Open source projects that change their licenses to prevent big companies from strip mining OSS get unfairly criticized
@microsoft.com forking and rebranding the work of Spegel is just another example that big companies dont ❤️ anything but profits

Three years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. This limited our ability to scale up the cluster as we depended on critical images from that registry. After this incident, I started thinking about a better way to avoid these scalability issues. A solution that did not need a stateful component and required minimal operational oversight. This is where the idea for Spegel came from.
