My friend Brian Christner (Docker Captain alum) and I go through our AI harnesses, agents, models, and what we’re playing with right now. OpenClaw, OpenCode, Claude Code, Copilot, and all of it. Check out the video podcast version here: https://youtu.be/8AFE0kxaY2k
😇 My new GitHub Security workshop has launched! A free 2-hour workshop with hands-on labs to harden your repos and your workflows from common supply chain attacks. I'll cover how attackers are getting in, and then we'll lock down a sample repo so you know what needs to be done to protect your code. You'll leave with a deep understanding of risks and mitigations as well as a list of helpful tools to keep your repos safe, including my new "gasa" tool for scanning your repos and orgs.

More from Agentic DevOps : AI Engineering for Infrastructure
The OpenAI Hugging Face hack. The Anthropic testing failures. Listen to the security and ops experts, not lab researchers. I walk you through the production failures that allowed OpenAI’s models to access the internet, and what we can learn from the last few months on how to protect our systems and data. Let’s stop debating imaginary outcomes and start working through that security backlog in our infrastructure. I agree with the labs needing to slow down, but not because I believe AI will do uncontrollable harm on humans, but because the labs clearly need better production security and ops teams and more advanced lab infrastructure that’s been properly hardened. They also need to become a production ops security innovator and share that knowledge far and wide. Watch the video of this episode.
Luke Hinds, co-founder of nolabs Inc. and the nono project, joins me to dig into AI agent sandboxing with the nono CLI. It's been my go-to sandboxing tool for local agent use, but I know there are more features I should be using, like secure secrets injection and egress URL path control.

My friend Mike Rollins joins me for a chat about what it’s like leading a software engineering team that doesn’t read code anymore. Click here to watch a video of this episode.
