The Hidden Vulnerabilities Behind AI Code | René Brandel

Author: Tessl November 18, 2025 Duration: 1:01:44
If software can improve autonomously, why shouldn’t security? On this episode of AI Native Dev, René Brandel, founder and CEO of Casco, explores how upfront specs enable reliable agent generated software, and how that same discipline drives Casco’s autonomous, continuously improving security. On the docket: • how small teams with self-improving agents can outperform large security orgs. • why vibe coding is ideal for rapid prototyping and live customer iteration. • what a practical, scalabl...

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.
