The cognitive impact of coding agents

A fun thing about recording a podcast with a professional like Lenny Rachitsky is that his team know how to slice the resulting video up into TikTok-sized short form vertical videos. Here's one he shared on Twitter today which ended up attracting over 1.1m views! That was 48 seconds. Our full conversation lasted 1 hour 40 minutes.

Quoting Willy Tarreau

On the kernel security list we've seen a huge bump of reports. We were between 2 and 3 per week maybe two years ago, then reached probably 10 a week over the last year with the only difference being only AI slop, and now since the beginning of the year we're around 5-10 per day depending on the days (fridays and tuesdays seem the worst). Now most of these reports are correct, to the point that we had to bring in more maintainers to help us. And we're now seeing on a daily basis something that…

Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman

Months ago, we were getting what we called 'AI slop,' AI-generated security reports that were obviously wrong or low quality. It was kind of funny. It didn't really worry us. Something happened a month ago, and the world switched. Now we have real reports. All open source projects have real reports that are made with AI, but they're good, and they're real. — Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linux kernel maintainer (bio), in conversation with Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols Tags: security, linux,…

Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe?

Research: Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe? In trying to build my own version of Claude Artifacts I got curious about options for applying CSP headers to content in sandboxed iframes without using a separate domain to host the files. Turns out you can inject <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"...> tags at the top of the iframe content and they'll be obeyed even if subsequent untrusted JavaScript tries to manipulate them.

The Axios supply chain attack used individually targeted social engineering

The Axios team have published a full postmortem on the supply chain attack which resulted in a malware dependency going out in a release the other day, and it involved a sophisticated social engineering campaign targeting one of their maintainers directly. Here's Jason Saayman'a description of how that worked: so the attack vector mimics what google has documented here: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/unc1069-targets-cryptocurrency-ai-social-engineering they tailored…

The Cathedral, the Bazaar, and the Winchester Mystery House

The following article originally appeared on Drew Breunig’s blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. In 1998, Eric S. Raymond published the founding text of open source software development, The Cathedral and the Bazaar. In it, he detailed two methods of building software: The bazaar model was enabled by the internet, which […]

Highlights from my conversation about agentic engineering on Lenny's Podcast

I was a guest on Lenny Rachitsky's podcast, in a new episode titled An AI state of the union: We've passed the inflection point, dark factories are coming, and automation timelines. It's available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Here are my highlights from our conversation, with relevant links. The November inflection point Software engineers as bellwethers for other information workers Writing code on my phone Responsible vibe coding Dark Factories and StrongDM The bottleneck has…

Gemma 4: Byte for byte, the most capable open models

Gemma 4: Byte for byte, the most capable open models Four new vision-capable Apache 2.0 licensed reasoning LLMs from Google DeepMind, sized at 2B, 4B, 31B, plus a 26B-A4B Mixture-of-Experts. Google emphasize "unprecedented level of intelligence-per-parameter", providing yet more evidence that creating small useful models is one of the hottest areas of research right now. They actually label the two smaller models as E2B and E4B for "Effective" parameter size. The system card explains: The…
