How did you hear about Codetown?
I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
What are your main interests in software development?
right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.

well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
Do you have a website?

Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.

Podcast: Requirements Analysis for Architects: A Conversation with Sonya Natanzon

Michael Stiefel spoke to Sonya Natanzon, about the intersection of technical and social aspects of software architecture. Understanding the business and how a company operates is more important than the specific technologies used. Effective requirements analysis requires focusing on problems to be solved that describe good and bad outcomes, rather than statements of need or solution statements.

Article: The AI Productivity Paradox in Test Automation: Moving Beyond Structural Validation to Perception and Intent

The AI productivity paradox states that AI scales whatever abstraction it is built on. If that abstraction is structurally brittle, it scales structural brittleness. This article shows how, to build a future of reliable, AI-driven test automation, we must stop scaling DOM-centric abstractions and build a new testing paradigm grounded in perception and intent.

A Trailing Slash Bypassed AWS API Gateway Authorization

A security researcher found that adding a trailing slash to AWS HTTP API paths bypassed Lambda authorizer authentication entirely, enabling unauthenticated wire transfers at a fintech. The root cause is a path normalization mismatch between HTTP API's greedy route matching and its authorization layer. The same vulnerability class appeared in gRPC-Go via CVE-2026-33186.

DuckDB Quack: Client/Server Protocol over HTTP for Multi-User Analytics

DuckDB has recently announced Quack, a new remote protocol over HTTP that lets multiple DuckDB instances connect to and work with the same database over a network. The protocol introduces client-server capabilities to a database that was previously mostly local and embedded.

Arm Open-Sources Metis, an AI Security Framework Outperforming Traditional SAST Tools

Arm has open-sourced Metis, an agentic AI security framework designed to autonomously uncover complex software vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional pattern-based tools, Metis applies semantic reasoning to analyze cross-component dependencies and provides clear, natural language explanations for its findings.
