In this engaging discussion, Tanya Janca, Head of Community at Semgrep and security trainer at She Hacks Purple, shares insights from her new book aimed at helping developers write secure code. She emphasizes the critical importance of validating inputs and adopting a zero-trust security model. Tanya discusses balancing security with usability, especially in sensitive environments like hospitals. She also explores effective strategies for securing legacy applications and the need for continuous security testing in the software development lifecycle.

SummaryAndy Gocke, lead of the native AOT and app model team at Microsoft answers listener's questions about native AOT.DetailsFuture of Native AOT. Trimming support in third party libraries. Why .NET prefers its own JIT compiler over the LLVM MSIL backend. How much bigger with AOT be over MSIL and JIT. Where to follow libraries supporting AOT. Using AOT and GPUs. WASM performance. Can Native AOT replace Mono AOT. Plan for using dependency injection with AOT. When will the IDEs support for Native AOT.

SummaryStormy Peters talks about open source software and how to support the communities that create it.DetailsWho she is, what she does. What open source software is, what free means. Different types of OSS licenses, beerware, restrictive licenses. Commercial use of open software. Making OSS financially viable; tools that GitHub offers, most software is built on open source software. "We're not paying for free software!", normalizing paying for OSS; hard for companies to make payments; GitHub sponsors for companies. Individuals sponsoring/supporting OSS, getting in touch with maintainers. Barriers to getting involved. One-person projects. Sponsorship by programming language. Is anyone making enough money from sponsorship. How GitHub supports OSS developers; corporate sponsors. Copilot and its use of OSS. Future of OSS.

SummaryAndy Gocke, lead of the native AOT and app model team at Microsoft talks about ahead-of-time compilation (AOT) in .NET.DetailsWho he is, what he does. Quick overview of ahead-of-time compilation (AOT); finding your code. Traditional compilation, interpreter vs compiler, translation from source to target languages. Operating systems, intermediate language (IL). There's always an interpreter. Just-in-time compilation (JIT); Java ran on multiple OSes, but .NET was Windows only; .NET ran on multiple architectures. Ready-to-run (R2R) and trimming. Tiered compilation, variable performance. R2R mixes precompiled and IL, native AOT only has precompiled. Trimming - getting rid of unneeded things, trouble with plugins and reflection; static analysis - don't ignore warnings. Why AOT was built, where it is a good fit. How much work it was; Core RT, low adoption, but good feedback. Good and bad use cases for AOT. For .NET 7 console apps and libraries, or if you don't get trim warnings; a single trim warning is too many. AOT and non-AOT OSS NuGet packages. .NET 8 support for ASP.NET. JIT and IL will not go away. AWS Lambda functions and AOT, exclusions, problems that might occur; trimmable all the way down. Getting started with AOT. Can't turn off trimming.

SummaryTanya Janca talks about fixing your developer process so that security is part of the life cycle.DetailsWho she is, what she does. Becoming a penetration tester. Being a developer advocated. Adding security at the end of the software development life cycle; people wish there was a silver bullet for security. "We're secure, we don't need to test our security". Security should start at the project kickoff. Who owns security, the devs or the security team; getting authority and responsibility. Choosing what to fix; likelihood, potential losses, cost. Security stories during development iterations. Security gets in the way. Feature switches to turn off security in dev environments. Negotiating about what to fix; working around the process. Should security programming be a specialty. Don't build a tool if you can buy it. Copy pasting your way into trouble; Stack Overflow has a security section now; team to build core security tools. Buying services for authentication/authorization. Communicating with other applications. Why no HTTPS. Why encryption at rest when data is in the cloud. Security testing - static analysis, dependencies vulnerabilities, dynamic analysis. Security tools.

SummaryClark Sell talks about building a community for software developers.DetailsWho he is, what he does. What a community is; not limited to in-person. How to build a community; need for some organizing force. Building a community via a conference. Local conference. Financial side of a conference, price of ticket, speaker stipend. Getting the conference started, polyglot, website, event planning. Getting people to attend the first conference. Format/behaviors, events to bring people together. The challenge of polyglot conferences; tech sessions vs soft skills; the non tech ones are more likely to change your life; software is about people. Getting the most of a conference; reach out a talk to attendees/presenters; don't put presenters on a pedestal. Way to get involved in the community; have more than one community.
