   Steve Jobs in Exile

   The popular story of Steve Jobs is that he co-founded Apple, was pushed out, wandered through a failed venture called NeXT, then returned to save the company and usher in the iPod and iPhone. That version is memorable, widely repeated, and, in an important sense, wrong. His years at NeXT are usually treated as a footnote, when they were among the most consequential of his life and career. Geoffrey Cain (https://x.com/geoffrey_cain) is the author of Steve Jobs in Exile, which draws on previously unpublished material and new interviews to illuminate the NeXT years. The book argues that NeXT was not a failure but the hidden turning point. Its operating system, NeXTSTEP, became the foundation of Mac OS X and, later, the iPhone, and its fingerprints are still visible in Apple’s code today. Dan’l Lewin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dlewin1/)was an early Apple employee who led the initial launch of the Macintosh into higher education. In 1985, he left the company alongside Steve Jobs to co-found NeXT, where he served as VP of Marketing and Sales. Over more than 30 years in Silicon Valley, he went on to hold senior roles at Sony and Microsoft, and later served as President and CEO of the Computer History Museum. In this episode, Geoffrey and Dan’l join Matt Merrill to discuss the story behind NeXT, the 1980s computing landscape that shaped it, the technical bets like Objective-C and dynamic binding that gave Apple a long head start, why the university market mattered so much, and how the company ended up shaping the devices in our pockets.

   Security in the Age of Instant Exploits

   In the world of software security, there was historically a comfortable lag between the moment a vulnerability became public and the moment attackers could exploit it. This lag was often measured in months, but AI models can now read a vulnerability report and generate a working exploit almost instantly. They can scan the entire internet for exposed secrets at a scale no human team could match, and surface complex flaws that traditional tools missed for years. However, the same capabilities are just as available to defenders, and there is a case to be made that defenders hold the stronger hand. Alon Schindel (https://x.com/41thexplorer) is the VP of AI and Threat Research at Wiz (https://www.wiz.io/), which is a cloud security platform acquired by Google in 2026. In this episode, Alon joins Gregor Vand to discuss how AI has compressed the time from disclosure to exploit, the prospects for defenders to stay ahead, how Wiz approaches scanning and remediation, the growing strain on open source maintainers, and more.

   The State of Browser Testing

   Automated browser testing is a foundational technology that many web developers rely on. Modern tooling lets a single test drive Chrome, Firefox, and Safari the same way, a triumph of software engineering built on years of standardization work. That standardization emerged from the interplay between open source projects, browser vendors, and standards bodies like the W3C. David Burns (https://x.com/AutomatedTester) is a longtime Selenium and WebDriver contributor, a veteran of Mozilla, and is currently the Head of Developer Advocacy and Open Source at BrowserStack (https://www.browserstack.com/). In this episode, David joins Josh Goldberg to discuss how open source projects, browser vendors, and standards bodies fit together, a practical philosophy of testing built around one solid test per critical path, and the risks that AI and vibe coding introduce to web development.
