Luke Hinds, CTO of Stacklok and creator of Sigstore, speaks with SE Radio's Brijesh Ammanath about the privacy and security concerns of using AI coding agents. They discuss how the increased use of AI coding assistants has improved programmer productivity but has also introduced certain key risks. In the area of secrets management, for example, there is the risk of secrets being passed to LLMs. Coding assistants can also introduce dependency-management risks that can be exploited by malicious actors. Luke recommends several tools and behaviors that programmers can adopt to ensure that secrets do not get leaked. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

We learned Thursday that Bill Self was taken to the hospital again for another heart procedure making it at least three times in four years. A full recovery is expected after two more stents were inserted. But what we didn't know is that Self has been coaching with a PICC line... a catheter to deliver medicine and nutrition to his heart. We have the details and the ask the big question about this legendary coach. In Columbia, Eli Drinkwitz gets a long contract extension but didn't take much of a raise. Intstead, he got double the amount he can pay his assistants. You have to love this guy. Trump is headed to Scotland for five days after touring the Federal Reserve HQ and Jerome Powell on Thursday. We were surprised there weren't more fireworks. Chuck E. Cheese was hauled out of the famous pizza place in Florida and arrested by police.... right in front of all the kids. And we remember the great Hulk Hogan and tie it in to the Song of the Week.
As Executive Assistants, we're no strangers to juggling a hundred things at once, but how often do we stop and ask: Is this a task, or am I actually running a project? In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we are diving into why recognising the difference between tasks and project work matters more than you might think.We'll talk about how to spot project work in your day-to-day, why the language you use can completely change how others see your role, and how to start framing your contributions in a more strategic way, without adding loads of admin to your plate.You'll walk away with a simple framework for thinking about your projects (yes, they are projects!) and the confidence to say, “I delivered this” - because you did.EA Insight of the Week: A small shift in language can lead to a big shift in impact.

As some states roll out veterinary assistant credentialing programs, a critical question emerges: Who's actually overseeing these initiatives, what are their future goals, and are they helping or hurting the profession? In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, examine the growing movement to credential veterinary assistants without consistent regulatory oversight, clear practice act integration, or protections for the assistants themselves. Focusing on emerging programs in states like Texas, Ward and Mossor question whether we're building sustainable career pathways or setting assistants up for burnout and backlash. Are financial incentives for third-party training programs taking priority over educational quality and long-term workforce needs? And how do these new assistant titles intersect (or conflict) with existing RVT, LVT, and CVT credentials? This conversation challenges veterinary professionals, educators, and policymakers to consider what genuine credentialing should entail: regulated, inclusive, and grounded in a framework that supports the entire team. Without structure and oversight, well-meaning reforms can deepen division, confuse the public, and erode trust within clinics. If you care about career advancement, team cohesion, and the future of veterinary support staff, this is a conversation you can't afford to ignore.

In the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs, prosecutors have strategically utilized testimonies from his former assistants and employees to substantiate their case. These individuals have provided detailed accounts of alleged abuse, coercion, and forced labor, painting a picture of a workplace environment that prosecutors argue was integral to Combs' purported criminal enterprise. For instance, a former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym "Mia," described enduring years of sexual assault and psychological manipulation, asserting that she was "brainwashed" during her tenure with Combs. Another former employee, Capricorn Clark, recounted being kidnapped and coerced into participating in violent acts at Combs' behest. These testimonies aim to demonstrate a pattern of behavior consistent with the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.The prosecution contends that these accounts reveal a systematic effort by Combs to exploit his employees and associates, using intimidation and abuse to maintain control and further his alleged criminal activities. By presenting these narratives, prosecutors seek to establish that Combs' actions were not isolated incidents but part of a broader scheme to manipulate and dominate those within his sphere of influence. This strategy is designed to reinforce the RICO charges by illustrating how Combs allegedly operated his business ventures as fronts for illicit conduct, thereby fulfilling the criteria for a racketeering enterprise under federal law.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy Inc.: Sean Combs' aides unravel his jet set empire in court

Where does the next phase of AI-assistants for software development go next? Is it an evolution of developer productivity, or a complete rethinking of the barriers and limitations for broader software development? SHOW: 924SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Cloudcast #924 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtube.com/@TheCloudcastNET CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK: http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwCHECK OUT OUR NEW PODCAST: "CLOUDCAST BASICS"SHOW SPONSORS:Cut Enterprise IT Support Costs by 30-50% with US CloudSHOW NOTES:WHERE DO AI DEVELOPER-ASSISTANTS GO NEXT?A year ago it felt like co-pilots were one of the entry point use-cases for AI.Since then we've seen numbers say the uplift is 10-20% productivity.Microsoft claims that 20-30% of their code is now written by AIs.We've seen many senior developers speakout that it's not replacement level technology and they don't trust it.Companies like Cursor have a $9-10B valuation. Windsurf just got purchased for $3B by OpenAI.Microsoft has Co-Pilot (based on OpenAI models). Google and Amazon are rumored to be launching their own.Lots of companies are launching agents (IBM, Salesforce, Oracle, etc.), and lots of agent frameworks now exist. So where does it go next? Is it just wide-spead adoption of developer productivity? Is it specialized functions within developer workflows? (e.g. CI/CD, documentation, security evaluations, bug fixes, long-term maintenance, etc.)How far are we from teams being just a few architects, leads, Sr. Devs, and then teams of AI's (agents, etc.)?Is that a good thing for Sr. Dev personalities that didn't want to focus on soft-skills?Does that allow for greater experimentation against feature-requests or stories, since they can create more, test more, etc.?Do we start to see companies create skunkworks teams/groups that try to adopt this approach? Are product managers ready to have zero-backlogs and the demand for new ideas to increase?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodBlueSky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

In this eye-opening episode, Hailey Beard of Hailey Beard Events joins host and CWP COO, Krisy Thomas, for a powerful conversation about the often-overlooked ethics of being a wedding day assistant. Hailey brings a unique perspective as both a Certified Wedding Planner and someone who has assisted more than 15 planning companies throughout her career.The conversation dives deep into the ethics of being a wedding day assistant—particularly the delicate balance of supporting another planner's brand while navigating today's social media-driven landscape. Hailey shares candid insights about what it truly means to show up as an extension of someone's business, emphasizing that "when you agree to assist a lead planner, you're committing to supporting their business and their clients, not for personal gain."Together, we unpack the common misconceptions and challenges that arise when these boundaries aren't clearly established. From photographers accidentally tagging assistants rather than lead planners, to the confusion created when assistants post wedding content on their personal business accounts, these scenarios affect everyone involved—especially couples who may wonder who actually planned their wedding.The most valuable takeaway? Understanding that being an exceptional assistant isn't measured by social media visibility or recognition, but by how effectively you support both the couple and lead planner. We cover practical "social media nay-nays" that every wedding professional should know, including never posting surprise elements before they've happened, respecting unplugged ceremony requests, and understanding privacy concerns for high-profile clients.Whether you're a seasoned planner building your team, a new assistant navigating industry etiquette, or somewhere in between, this conversation provides actionable guidance for maintaining professionalism and integrity in every aspect of wedding work. Ready to raise your standards and contribute positively to our industry? Listen now to transform how you approach teamwork in the wedding world.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety
Developers are relying on LLMs as coding assistants, so where are the LLM assistants for appsec? The principles behind secure code reviews don't really change based on who write the code, whether human or AI. But more code means more reasons for appsec to scale its practices and figure out how to establish trust in code, packages, and designs. Rey Bango shares his experience with secure code reviews and where developer education fits in among the adoption of LLMs. As businesses rapidly embrace SaaS and AI-powered applications at an unprecedented rate, many small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) struggle to keep up due to complex tech stacks and limited visibility into the skyrocketing app sprawl. These modern challenges demand a smarter, more streamlined approach to identity and access management.

As any established photographer will tell you, forging a career can be a long and arduous journey, with no instruction manual to guide you through the process. The lofty world of top-notch pros is often shrouded in mystery and full of things they don't teach in photo school. In today's show, we get to peek behind the scenes of this complex, and often chaotic environment in a chat with two colleagues who've found a way to balance their freelance careers as independent creators with lucrative work assisting in a high-profile photo studio. Listen in, to learn how a casual job application through LinkedIn landed Mike Foley an interview, ultimately resulting in a salaried role as first assistant to a world-class portrait photographer. While technical mastery counts for a lot, we discuss the critical importance of soft skills like personality and work ethic to success in such environments. We also distinguish between salaried full-time work and more common freelance roles, and the juggling required to coordinate the complex planning involved. As freelance lighting assistant (and longtime café owner) Alex Savidis admits, “the juggle becomes quite hard at times, but I think it's a necessity, especially when you're trying to pursue something that you're passionate about. You can't just become a successful photographer overnight. It takes years to build up to that.” Guests: Mike Foley & Alex Savidis Episode Timeline: 2:57: Mike Foley describes heirloom portraiture as his bespoke brand of portrait with the ability to last a lifetime. 5:10: The backstory to Mike getting hired as a photo assistant for a world class portrait photographer. 11:25: The personality and skill set needed to work in a high-end photo studio, Alex's take on being added to the team, plus the various roles within the studio. 17:30: The role of a B-cam operator to capture the finer details of a video shoots, plus an overview of a typical shoot day. 23:05: Mike talks about the video work in his portfolio as a differentiating factor in his getting the assisting job. 28:23: The work structure and expectations for photo assistants, from freelance to salaried positions, plus discussion about length of tenure. 34:50: Episode Break 35:55: Memorable stories from the studio—from the largest two-day shoot with a crew of 150, to the core personnel involved in work-a-day shoots. 42:28: NDA's and the etiquette of what an assistant is able to share when dealing with high-end clients. 46:30: The growing acceptance of photographers who do freelance work and juggle regular 9-5 jobs with photo assignments. 52:07: Learning outcomes from working in a world class portrait studio, and the mindset to hold yourself to a higher standard. 57:49: Mike and Alex share advice for budding photographers based on what they've learned from working in a world-class photo studio. Guest Bios: Mike Foley is a New York City-based photographer specializing in heirloom portraiture and editorial photography. After starting out photographing weddings and small events, Mike quickly grew into commercial work, providing clients with timeless images they can use to elevate their visual presence and define their brand. His approach behind the camera is warm and humanistic, allowing his subjects the space to be themselves. In addition to his own photo services, Mike is currently content manager and digital designer for an internationally renowned portrait photographer. On set, he serves as first assistant and B-camera operator, while also providing on-set and post-production support behind the scenes for clients like Balenciaga, New York Magazine, and many more. Australian native Alex Savidis is passionate about storytelling through both still and moving imagery. Based in New York since 2020, he pushes creative boundaries by merging elements from his street and landscape photography into his portraiture & wedding work, weaving memories into art. For the past year and a half, Alex has also worked as lighting assistant and B cam operator in the same high-profile portrait studio as Mike, catering to world-renowned clients and political leaders. On B cam, it's his job to focus on finer details and provide viewers with a deeper, more intimate perspective on a given subject, capturing nuances that enhance the storytelling. Additionally, when he's not juggling camera gear or fine-tuning lights, you can find Alex behind the counter of the café Regular NYC in southern Manhattan, an establishment he founded in early 2024.
