The Hidden Security Risks of AI Coding Agents

Author: Tessl May 19, 2026 Duration: 41:45
Your AI coding agent has access to your secrets, pulls in content from the outside world, and can run shell commands. According to Joe Holdcroft, that combination makes you one prompt injection away from a very bad time.

Hosted by Guy Podjarny and Simon Maple, The AI Native Dev-from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow is a conversation about the profound shift happening right now in how software is created. This isn't just another tech show about using the latest AI tool; it's a deep, ongoing exploration of what it means to build software in an age where artificial intelligence is a fundamental partner. Each episode unpacks the practical realities and the long-term implications of this transition, moving beyond today's assistive copilots to imagine the workflows, team structures, and architectural decisions of a fully AI-native future. For developers and engineering leaders who feel both the excitement and the uncertainty of this moment, the podcast offers grounded discussions, expert insights, and forward-thinking analysis. You'll hear concrete examples of AI's current impact on coding practices alongside speculative, thoughtful debates about where this all might lead. The dialogue is shaped by a genuine curiosity about how we can actively guide this transformation rather than just react to it. Tune in for a nuanced perspective that treats AI not as a simple productivity hack, but as the core of a new development paradigm that is still being written. This Tessl production provides a essential space for anyone invested in the craft of building software to understand and help shape what comes next.
