The Standup

Join Casey Muratori, a software developer known for his insights into developer tooling and low-level programming, as he dishes on the value of quality tools like FilePilot. The conversation gets quirky with snack confessions and goofy morning routines. Casey dives into tech topics like the PMC Trace project for Windows performance counters and shares his journey creating a game for his son. They also reflect on work-life balance at Netflix and spark creativity through personal projects, all while embracing gratitude this Thanksgiving.

This week’s guests, Ed from LowLevel.Academy, a low-level security expert, and Casey Muratori, a game programmer, dive deep into memory-safe C. They discuss the innovative Fil-C technology, which blends memory safety with familiar C logic, making it suitable for game engines. Ed explains the security implications that sparked interest in memory-safe alternatives, while Casey shares practical insights on performance trade-offs. The duo also contrasts Fil-C with Rust, covering the strengths and limitations of each approach for modern programming.

Timu Casey, a security researcher and low-level systems expert renowned for his insights on vulnerabilities and AI in security, joins the discussion. He dives into the complexities of FFmpeg and the impact of AI-generated bug reports, particularly related to Google's OSS-Fuzz initiative. The conversation explores the ethical dilemmas of bug disclosure, the challenges maintainers face, and whether AI is enhancing or complicating the bug-fixing process. They also debate the balance between public vulnerability disclosure and the potential risks it poses, especially for obscure codec vulnerabilities.
