Adam and Ganesh dig into how AI coding agents are reshaping both engineering leadership and application security.\nAdam shares why he traded running Semgrep's engineering org for hands-on building again, and how AI has changed the math for leaders who want to stay close to the code. He and Ganesh talk through why static analysis is having a resurgence as a cheap, fast guardrail for agents, how security review is shifting from CI into the IDE and even into the design phase, and how agents are getting unnervingly good at chaining together minor vulnerabilities into critical exploits. They close on how much to trust agents with fixing their own security issues, and what it actually takes to go \"full dark factory\" safely.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ySnZ0f3oFot1nXhD72oolFI3bZcgZ6Z9xDdt5_KXizE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jZmJi/ZjcwZTRlMjNkMzZj/NDBmNDZmZDVlNDRh/NGZjOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
