Listen "Is Open Source Software Infrastructure?"
Episode Synopsis
GitHub is advocating for a European Union Sovereign Tech Fund to help pay the open source software developers building and maintaining software relied upon by economies and societies just like any other necessary infrastructure like roads and bridges.Apple gets called out by the Open Web Advocacy group saying its technical rules and restrictions are blocking other browser vendors from successfully offering their own search engines to iOS users in the EU.Last episode we talked about Amazon’s new AI coding editor Kiro, and this week, we learned about a feature called Agent Hooks which let users write automation tools that agents can use within the IDE to do predefined actions like maintaining code quality, checking for security vulnerabilities, standardizing and enforcing team processes, and more. Think of it like pre-commit hooks but with AI behind them!Timestamps:0:51 - GitHub is advocating for an EU tech fund9:21 - An update on non-WebKit browsers on iOS15:30 - Kiro’s agent hooks26:28 - Kilo Code28:35 - eslint-config-prettier got hacked33:15 - @media(hover: hover)36:05 - What’s making us happyLinks:Paige - GitHub is advocating for an EU Sovereign Tech FundJack - Kiro’s Agent HooksTJ - An update on non-WebKit browsers on iOSKilo Code - open source AI agent VS Code extension (not to be confused with the Kiro fork)Popular npm package eslint-config-prettier got hacked@media(hover:hover)Paige - Relax Meditation appJack - Physical books like the Annihilation seriesTJ - Apple Watch series 10Thanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.
