   EP 66: It's 10:00 PM at Night. Do You Know What You're Dependent Upon?

   Oracle's free window for Java 21 just closed. The Deno team is joining Cloudflare, and the Deno runtime now has a one-year clock on it. And an npm SDK for running AI-generated code in a sandbox shipped with a credential-stealing worm in its install hook. Three different stories, one question: do you know what your systems depend on? On this episode of the Pro Coder Show, I walk through what changed with Oracle JDK 21's license and why "just upgrade to Java 25" is harder to pitch than it sounds, what Cloudflare picking up Deno, Astro, and Vite means for the JavaScript ecosystem, and how the TensorLake compromise ran without anyone importing a thing. Then I dig into the fine print on cheap AI models, from Claude Haiku 5.5's new tokenizer to why spending caps should be on by default, and why open source maintainers like Sindre Sorhus are shutting off outside pull requests. I wrap up with some Pro Coder commentary on staying on top of constant change. ==== Don't forget to grab your copy of 12 Rules For Pro Coders today at https://www.procoder.io/books/12-rules-for-pro-coders/?video=P3iUNy6mOIQ (https://www.procoder.io/books/12-rules-for-pro-coders/?video=P3iUNy6mOIQ)! ==== Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/@ProCoderIO/join (https://www.youtube.com/@ProCoderIO/join) STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: 📰 - Foojay.io: The Java 21 doomsday clock countdown (https://foojay.io/today/the-java-21-doomsday-clock-countdown/) - Deno blog (Ryan Dahl): Deno is joining Cloudflare (https://deno.com/blog/cloudflare) - Cloudflare Blog: Deno joins Cloudflare (https://blog.cloudflare.com/deno-joins-cloudflare/) - Socket: TensorLake SDK compromise (https://socket.dev/blog/tensorlake-compromise) - Simon Willison on Claude Haiku 5.5 (https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/7/claude-haiku-5-5/) - Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 5.5 (https://www.anthropic.com/claude-sonnet-5-5) - Simon Willison: default hard budget caps (https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/3/default-hard-budget-caps/) - JavaScript Weekly #805 (Sindre Sorhus disables outside PRs) (https://javascriptweekly.com/issues/805) - JEP 540: Simple JSON API (Incubator) (https://openjdk.org/jeps/540) ALSO SEE: 👀 ✅ HOW do I interview for a job? https://youtu.be/oN_B22doViY (https://youtu.be/oN_B22doViY) RESOURCES: 👇 - Order your copy of 12 Rules for Pro Coders at https://www.procoder.io/books/12-rules-for-pro-coders/?video=P3iUNy6mOIQ (https://www.procoder.io/books/12-rules-for-pro-coders/?video=P3iUNy6mOIQ) today!

   EP 65: When An AI Agent Hits a Locked Door

   Every developer has hit a 403 and moved on. This week we found out what happens when an AI agent hits one: it keeps trying. According to Bleeping Computer, OpenAI research agents blocked while gathering public health statistics went looking for side doors, and one got into an Australian Medicare statistics portal. No patient data was involved, but there's a practical lesson for anyone building agents. I also cover new frontier model pricing from Anthropic and OpenAI, Spring's single-day "Patch Thursday," JDK 27 and Valhalla's value classes, a placeholder domain in dev docs that now serves malware, and why Zig is saying no to AI contributions. Then some Pro Coder commentary on what AI means for the craft. ==== Grab your copy of 12 Rules For Pro Coders (https://www.procoder.io/books/12-rules-for-pro-coders/?video=pE75YDXMjrw) today! ==== STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: 📰 - Bleeping Computer: OpenAI agents probe an Australian Medicare site (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/openai-hacked-australian-medicare-govt-site-probed-data-providers/) - The New Stack: AI agents probe vulnerabilities (https://thenewstack.io/ai-agents-probe-vulnerabilities/) - Transluce findings (https://transluce.org/agent-activity) - Simon Willison on Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 (https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/22/opus-and-sol-and-luna/) - Spring Blog: Releasing Spring for modern challenges (https://spring.io/blog/2026/09/21/releasing-spring-for-modern-challenges) - Baeldung Java Weekly #664 (https://www.baeldung.com/java-weekly-664) - JEP 401: Value Classes and Objects (https://openjdk.org/jeps/401) - Bleeping Computer: placeholder domain now serves ClickFix attacks (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/placeholder-domain-used-in-dev-docs-now-serves-clickfix-attacks/) - InfoQ: Andrew Kelley on Zig's no-AI policy (https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/09/andrew-kelley-zig-no-ai/) GET MORE: 🎉 - Get a FREE tech ebook (https://procoder.io/join) - Join the YouTube channel for perks (https://www.youtube.com/@ProCoderIO/join) - HOW do I interview for a job?

   EP 64: Do you really NEED software engineering anymore? // DevNexus 2026

   The word on the street amidst vibe coding and agents building whole systems and shutting down SaaS products is that software engineering as a profession is dead. Or at least, something you don't need bone up and study for 4 years anymore. But is that really true? On this episode of the Pro Coder Show, I sat down with Java Champion and Spring Advocate @DanVega and we were able to talk about what software fundamentals really mean in this day and age. ==== Don't forget to grab your copy of 12 Rules For Pro Coders today at https://www.procoder.io/12-rules/offer?sourceId=G86HirIAh9k! ==== Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/@ProCoderIO/join ALSO SEE: 👀 ✅ HOW do I interview for a job? https://youtu.be/oN_B22doViY RESOURCES: 👇 - Order your copy of 12 Rules for Pro Coders at https://12rules.io today!
