Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 880 ratings
  • Like the format and topics

    This podcast has the things I want in a pod:

    1) Interesting and varied topics with knowledgeable guests.

    2) Hosts who are clearly knowledgeable, interested, and prepared for the interview.

    3) Interviews are not rushed to fit an artificial schedule. I hate it when things are not given the time they deserve because they hit the 40 minute (or whatever) mark and it gets cut off.

  • Host is lagging behind.

    Podcast host asking questions that are not follows conversation line. It seems to me that questions prepared before the dialog and in spite of conversation questions asked most of the time have no relation to the conversation flow.

  • Good Podcast for devs with a variety of topics

    I really enjoy the podcast especially the variety of topics discussed. What I would really love to see in the future is improved audio quality since some episodes are really terrible to listen to so that at least I can’t understand the discussion in a good way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SE Radio 684: Dan Bergh Johnsson and Daniel Deogun on Secure By Design
Q: What do you say about the idea of an attacker breaking into a network and then moving laterally?
Bulkheading prevents cascading failures, limiting an attacker's ability to navigate through the system.
SE Radio 684: Dan Bergh Johnsson and Daniel Deogun on Secure By Design
Q: Is there some baseline level of generic security awareness training that you recommend for developers?
There is a basic awareness of security practices needed but not specialization.
SE Radio 684: Dan Bergh Johnsson and Daniel Deogun on Secure By Design
Q: Can you describe the traditional purchase security and some of the problems with it?
One of the challenges with the traditional view is that you have to almost be an expert to understand what to do. Misconfiguration can lead to vulnerabilities.
SE Radio 680: Luke Hinds on Privacy and Security of AI Coding Assistants
Q: What best practices can developers follow when using AI-generated coding assistance?
Developers should closely review AI-generated code, remain aware of information leakage, and leverage proper cryptographic systems for secrets.
SE Radio 680: Luke Hinds on Privacy and Security of AI Coding Assistants
Q: What are the key risks introduced due to the reliance on AI coding assistants?
Key risks include data exfiltration, where sensitive information might be integrated into code and inadvertently leaked, and reliance on stale training data leading to outdated recommendations.
