From now on I will block anyone crying about being cancelled for speech.

As modern platforms integrate an increasing array of tools, so too grows the complexity of software dependencies within your codebase. While mainstream dependencies like Docker images, Terraform and NPM packages are well-covered by existing solutions, what about the myriad obscure or custom tooling, perhaps even manually installed binaries lurking in your Dockerfiles? In this session, we'll unveil an Open Source solution designed to systematically extract data from diverse toolsets. Learn how to effectively catalog, track, and maintain these dependencies, eliminating blind spots and ensuring robustness in your development workflow.

I think the true revolution comes when every developer is encouraged and empowered to collaborate with the wider world. We need the contribution of the masses, not the professionalisation of the few.
