Episode 285: "Work is Punishment"


Listen Later

This week, we discuss Googler’s ideas for making open source more secure, obsessing over top of funnel influencer lifestyle management, and a bit of surfing. The power at Brandon’s house went out just as we were starting, so it’s mostly just Matt and Coté.

Mood board:

I have three screens. I have enough screen space.

I don’t need my shit moved, I moved my own shit.
This direct shit.
Thank goodness for holidays in Singapore and Japan.
I think about this every day “Work is punishment.”
We’ll skip the Brandon things and get to the Cote’ things.
It’s ready to be PowerPointed.
Members Only Security Discussion.
Hackin’ the mainframe.
They love themselves the McGlauglin group.
Back on the Funnel.
“Work is Punishment.”
Label maker go brrrr.

Rundown
  • Open source: Google wants new rules for developers working on 'critical' projects
    1. No unilateral changes to code. Changes would require code review and approval by two independent parties
    2. Authenticate participants. This means owners and maintainers cannot be anonymous; contributors are required to use strong authentication (eg 2FA)
    3. There need to be notifications for changes in risk to the software
    4. Enabling transparency for software artifacts
    5. Create ways to trust the build process
