Join host Nick Schutt and Abby Kearns (CEO of ActiveState, former CTO at Puppet & AI startup, ex-CEO Cloud Foundry Foundation) as they unpack the invisible foundation of today’s AI revolution: open source software.

From the explosive acceleration of tech cycles to the hidden dangers of transitive dependencies, this conversation reveals why 98% of software relies on open source—and why most organizations don’t fully understand the security risks in their stack.

Abby shares insights on package supply chain attacks, agentic workflows, the maintainer crisis, and how companies can responsibly adopt AI without compromising security. Whether you’re in infrastructure, security, or AI development, this episode is essential listening.
