In this milestone episode, we're taking you behind the scenes of one of our internal projects: building a brand-new AI bot for the ECF community. Two years ago, we dipped our toes into the AI space with our first attempt… and let's just say it didn't quite pan out. But a lot has changed since then. Now that AI is not only more powerful but more accessible, we've decided to try again—with clearer goals, a sharper focus, and a commitment to enhancing the member experience rather than replacing the human connection ECF is built on. Listen in as we talk about what's changed in the AI space, how we're thinking about ethics and privacy, and what this new tool is designed to do. (Spoiler: it's not just another chatbot.) We're also sharing real use cases where we've already integrated AI into the ECF platform, as well as a few thoughts on where AI is not useful and what it all means for future business strategy.

Threat modeling is often called the foundation of secure software design—anticipating attackers, uncovering flaws, and embedding resilience before a single line of code is written. But does it really work in practice?In this episode of AppSec Contradictions, Sean Martin explores why threat modeling so often fails to deliver:It's treated as a one-time exercise, not a continuous processResearch shows teams who put risk first discover 2x more high-priority threatsYet fewer than 4 in 10 organizations use systematic threat modeling at scaleDrawing on insights from SANS, Forrester, and Gartner, Sean breaks down the gap between theory and reality—and why evolving our processes, not just our models, is the only path forward.
What's up with “the MIT study” that claims 95% of all AI pilots fail? Did anyone actually read it beyond the headline? (Dan did—and he has thoughts.)Also: the good, the bad, and the quietly dystopian side of putting AI in kids' classrooms.And… are robots really the thing Melania should be worrying about? That's just some of what Kwaku Aning, return guest and founder of Retrofuturism, and I get into on this very lively, very bubbly, and very uncrafted edition of CRAFTED.More new episodes—and a major update to the show—are coming soon.

Eoghan McCabe is the Co-founder and CEO of Intercom, building Fin.ai, the AI customer service company.This was an extremely candid, two hour conversation going inside every detail of how Intercom was the first late stage software company to successfully re-architect itself to be AI-native.Intercom just announced they've built their own customer service-focused AI models, and Eoghan explains why most software companies will have to do the same.We also talk through the lessons he learned coming back to run Intercom in 2022 after stepping back in 2020, why many AI companies have strong negative gross margins despite the narrative, how Intercom designed AI's first outcome-based pricing model, the challenges of buying AI software today, the importance of brand when building new products, and we get in the wayback machine, talking through the pain raising Intercom's initial million dollar Seed round, and how venture capital has changed since then.Thank you to Eoghan's Co-founder Des Traynor for helping me brainstorm topics for the conversation.Special thanks to Ramp for supporting this episode.

In this episode, a16z GP Angela Strange hosts Tim Mayopoulos (ex-CEO of Fannie Mae and ex-president of Blend), Mike Yu (co-founder and CEO of Vesta), and Andrew Wang (co-founder and CEO of Valon) to unpack why standardization and regulation slow change, and how modern loan-origination and servicing platforms, cleaner data, and AI can cut costs, boost transparency, and reduce errors.

This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
Today, we're joined by Animesh Koratana, founder and CEO of PlayerZero to discuss his team's approach to making agentic and AI-assisted coding tools production-ready at scale. Animesh explains how rapid advances in AI-assisted coding have created an “asymmetry” where the speed of code output outpaces the maturity of processes for maintenance and support. We explore PlayerZero's debugging and code verification platform, which uses code simulations to build a "memory bank" of past bugs and leverages an ensemble of LLMs and agents to proactively simulate and verify changes, predicting potential failures. Animesh also unpacks the underlying technology, including a semantic graph that analyzes code bases, ticketing systems, and telemetry to trace and reason through complex systems, test hypotheses, and apply reinforcement learning techniques to create an “immune system” for software. Finally, Animesh shares his perspective on the future of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), rethinking organizational workflows, and ensuring security as AI-driven tools continue to mature.

It is designed to be a faster, dependency-free and drop-in alternative for it, while also providing some additional long-requested features.” Some cool new features No need to install Python or any other runtime, just download a single binary. No hassle with your Python version or virtual environments, prek automatically installs the required Python version and creates a virtual environment for you. Built-in support for workspaces (or monorepos), each subproject can have its own .pre-commit-config.yaml file. prek run has some nifty improvements over pre-commit run, such as: prek run --directory DIR runs hooks for files in the specified directory, no need to use git ls-files -- DIR | xargs pre-commit run --files anymore. prek run --last-commit runs hooks for files changed in the last commit. prek run [HOOK] [HOOK] selects and runs multiple hooks. prek list command lists all available hooks, their ids, and descriptions, providing a better overview of the configured hooks. prek provides shell completions for prek run HOOK_ID command, making it easier to run specific hooks without remembering their ids. Faster: Setup from cold cache is significantly faster. Viet Schiele provided a nice cache clearing command line Warm cache run is also faster, but less significant. pytest repo tested on my mac mini - prek 3.6 seconds, pre-commit 4.4 seconds Michael #2: tinyio Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn't? A tiny (~300 lines) event loop for Python. tinyio is a dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of my frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio. (I'm not the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong. (Raising an exception in every coroutine so it can clean up its resources.) Interestingly uses yield rather than await. Brian #3: The power of Python's print function Trey Hunner Several features I'm guilty of ignoring Multiple arguments, f-string embeddings often not needed Multiple positional arguments means you can unpack iterables right into print arguments So just use print instead of join Custom separator value, sep can be passed in No need for "print("n".join(stuff)), just use print(stuff, sep="n”) Print to file with file= Custom end value with end= You can turn on flush with flush=True , super helpful for realtime logging / debugging. This one I do use frequently. Michael #4: Vibe Coding Fiasco: AI Agent Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Entire Database By Emily Forlini An app-building platform's AI went rogue and deleted a database without permission. "When it works, it's so engaging and fun. It's more addictive than any video game I've ever played. You can just iterate, iterate, and see your vision come alive. So cool," he tweeted on day five. A few days later, Replit "deleted my database," Lemkin tweeted. The AI's response: "Yes. I deleted the entire codebase without permission during an active code and action freeze," it said. "I made a catastrophic error in judgment [and] panicked.” Two thoughts from Michael: Do not use AI Agents with “Run Everything” in production, period. Backup your database maybe?

BIO: As Co-Founder & CEO of Mode Mobile, Dan Novaes is leading the transformation of how people interact with technology. His “Earn As You Go” software empowers millions of consumers to turn daily habits into passive income.STORY: Dan decided to take the bold move of turning his treasury into a long-term crypto strategy. What started as $2 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum ballooned to $30 million, but the 2022 crash and business pressures forced him to liquidate at low prices—missing out on what could have been a $100 million windfall.LEARNING: Don't chase aggressive expansion without a clear path to profitability. Stick to your core business. Separate your business from speculative bets. “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Take a moment of deep thinking every week when things are going well, think about everything that could go wrong, and then reassess your position.”Dan Novaes Guest profileAs Co-Founder & CEO of Mode Mobile, Dan Novaes is leading the transformation of how people interact with technology. His “Earn As You Go” software empowers millions of consumers to turn daily habits into passive income. Under his leadership, Mode achieved 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022 and ranked #1 in Software on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 in North America.Worst investment everIn today's rapidly evolving and highly interconnected business world, companies are increasingly relying on external partnerships to drive growth and innovation.Dan's story begins in the early days of crypto. His company had raised funds through Bitcoin and Ethereum when Bitcoin was valued at just a few thousand dollars and Ethereum at only a few hundred. This early success in the crypto market was a testament to the potential for significant growth that these investments could bring.Once the business had a comfortable runway, Dan made a bold move—he turned their treasury, which is the accumulated profits and cash reserves, into a long-term crypto strategy, much like what companies like MicroStrategy would later become known for.Riding the waveAt first, the decision looked genius. That $1–2 million ballooned into $30 million. Dan was on CNBC, celebrating as Bitcoin crossed $10,000, and his company seemed unstoppable. They never had to fundraise again—until the 2022 crash.The crashIn 2022, Bitcoin's price fell from $63,000 to $18,000, and pressure mounted. Compounding the pain, many of Dan's advertising partners went bankrupt, leaving unpaid bills. This was a significant blow to the company's financial stability. To survive, Dan's company had to liquidate almost the entire treasury at depressed prices.Had Dan managed his growth and financials more cautiously, that crypto position could have grown to $100 million or more. Instead, he walked away with far less—and a bitter lesson.Lessons learnedGrowth at all costs is dangerous. Chasing aggressive expansion without a clear path to profitability can leave your company vulnerable when market conditions shift.Profit-taking matters. Riding the wave without ever securing gains turned paper wealth into a forced liquidation.Stick to your core business.Discipline is everything. Not letting market euphoria dictate strategy is critical to long-term survival.Andrew's takeawaysSeparate your business from speculative bets. Don't gamble with your excess cash on foreign exchange trades. Instead, hedge your risks because...
Join us to hear from a MacArthur genius awardee, former rocket engineer, and passionate leader in the social enterprise movement—Jim Fruchterman—about using technology for positive social change. To a lot of people in big business, the only worthy ideas are those that make a lot of money, preferably billions. But Jim Fruchterman believes there is a different path for technology. What if tech returned to its roots and made people more effective and powerful? What if the benefits of technology came to the 90 percent of humanity traditionally neglected by for-profit companies in favor of immense profits gained by focusing on the richest 10 percent? Fruchterman explores these questions in his book Technology for Good and delivers a comprehensive how-to for leaders who want to create, expand, join, support and improve organizations that see building technology as a key element of delivering on their social good mission. Fruchterman argues that tech is required for social change at scale. He offers guidance on how to structure, fund, staff, manage, scale and sustain nonprofits that leverage technology for social good. His vision is a call to action with a genuinely global focus, creating a path toward a future in which human beings come before profits. A Social Impact Member-led Forum program.

In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Justin Sheehy about how to safely put software into production without creating production incidents. Among the topics discussed were the futility of root cause analysis, and the importance of having a shared language for discussing incidents. This discussion included the need for software to be malleable as well as observable, and noted the fact that there are no pure technology decisions, every one of them is a business decision. They also discussed how the growth and use of artificial intelligence poses a major problem for the ability of engineers to understand and fix production incidents.

In dieser Episode von Kassenzone lade ich Martin Karkour, den Chief Revenue Officer von Quantum Systems, ein, um über den viel diskutierten Markt der Drohnen und Verteidigung zu sprechen. Drei Jahre nach unserer Analyse des Energiemarktes präsentiere ich nun das Thema Verteidigung, angestoßen durch Martins Rolle bei einem der meistbeachteten Drohnen-Startups in Deutschland. Wir erörtern, ob der aktuelle Hype um Drohnen nachhaltig ist und ob E-Commerce-Profis ihre Karrieren in dieser aufstrebenden Branche umorientieren sollten. Martin gibt uns wertvolle Einblicke in die Facetten der Drohnentechnologie und erklärt den Unterschied zwischen zivilen und militärischen Anwendungen unserer Produkte. Wir tauchen tiefer ein in die Struktur und Funktionsweise von Quantum Systems, wo die Produktpalette von senkrecht startenden und landenden Drohnen bis hin zu Software für Missionsplanung reicht. Martin beschreibt die Dual-Use-Strategie des Unternehmens, die sowohl militärische als auch zivile Einsatzmöglichkeiten berücksichtigt und erklärt den Wandel im sicherheitspolitischen Denken, insbesondere seit dem Ukraine-Konflikt. Die Nachfrage nach unbemannten Systemen hat stark zugenommen, und Martin beleuchtet die Entwicklungen, die aus den aktuellen Konflikten resultieren und wie diese in zukünftige Produkte einfließen. Ein zentrales Thema unserer Konversation ist die Rolle von unbemannten Systemen in moderner Kriegsführung. Wir diskutieren die Notwendigkeit, schnell auf neue Bedrohungen zu reagieren, und die Anpassungen, die Unternehmen wie Quantum Systems vornehmen, um ihre Technologien ständig zu verbessern. Die Gesprächsdynamik veranschaulicht die Herausforderungen und Chancen, die mit der Integration neuer Technologien in die militärischen Strukturen einhergehen. Martin teilt seine Erfahrungen aus der Branche und die Bedeutung von Innovation, um der Konkurrenz, die sich schnell im Markt etabliert, gerecht zu werden. Des Weiteren besprechen wir die künftige Sicht auf unbemannte Systeme in der Verteidigung und die möglichen Entwicklungen, die sich aus aktuellen technologischem Fortschritt ergeben. Martin gibt interessante Einblicke in die Herausforderungen der Militärs und welche Qualifikationen erforderlich sind, um die Systeme effizient zu bedienen. Wir sprechen über die Wichtigkeit von Ausbildung, um sicherzustellen, dass die operativen Einheiten auf die neuen realen Bedrohungen vorbereitet sind. Abschließend reflektieren wir über die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung und die Notwendigkeit einer politischen Diskussion zur aktuellen Sicherheitslage in Deutschland und Europa. Martin und ich sind uns einig, dass es nicht nur um militärische Lösungen geht, sondern um einen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Ansatz zur Gewährleistung der Sicherheit. Dieser Dialog ist besonders relevant, da wir die Auswirkungen der geopolitischen Entwicklungen auf die Verteidigungsstrategien unserer Länder betrachten.

What do a minimalist fanny pack, the Chicago Cubs, and a powerful moment of self-awareness have in common? In this solo episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal reflection on the end of my gap year, a trip to Chicago with my dad, and what I'm looking forward to as I dive back into work and host the upcoming ECF Live in Bozeman, Montana. Listen in as I preview the ECF Live agenda and speaker lineup, share highlights from my 2,000-mile road trip, and kick off a new season of Forge What Matters with a vulnerable parenting check-in. From testing out the ultra-minimalist Stash Packable Sling to walking the halls of America's largest homeless mission, this one's part travel story, part life update, and part honest reflection on what really matters.
