We’re talking about the rise of "vibe startups" - entrepreneurs hunting for problems to solve rather than building solutions from personal experience. We chat about AI security challenges, questioning whether these are truly new problems or just old security concepts repackaged for the AI era. From prompt injection and guardrails to the scary reality of AI agents acting as humans, we examine whether the industry's obsession with AI is leaving traditional security gaps exposed.

What are the core competencies that matter most for modern application security teams? Today we discuss understanding code and systems thinking and the crucial ability to assess risk in context - plus why your AppSec team might eventually get absorbed into engineering (and why it could be a good thing). We debate the role of developer mindset in security, the importance of technical depth over tool knowledge, and how to build teams that truly enable rather than gate development.
