  • Why Every Developer needs to know about WebMCP Now

    Why Every Developer needs to know about WebMCP Now
    Mar 31 2026

    An agent cannot read your website. And that needs to change.

    In this episode of AI Native Dev, Guy Podjarny sits down with Maximiliano Firtman, 30-year web developer and author of 14 books, to talk about what building for the web looks like when traffic comes from agents and humans both.

    They get into:

    • why AI agents taking screenshots of your website is inefficient and expensive
    • what Web MCP is and how it gives agents a direct API into your website
    • how a 200MB Apple model running offline is opening up a whole new category of web apps
    • why every vibe coded app is a web app and what that means for the future of the web


    Your next visitor might not be human. Are you ready for that?

  • Stop Maintaining Your Code. Start Replacing It

    Stop Maintaining Your Code. Start Replacing It
    Mar 24 2026

    "The code that we have is a liability. The system is the asset we're building."

    Chad Fowler, VC at Blue Yard Capital and former CTO at Wunderlist, sits down with Guy Podjarny to discuss the Phoenix Architecture: software designed to be replaced rather than maintained.

    In this episode:
    • why was the code written by Chad never longer than a page
    • how he replaced 70% of a codebase in 3 months and cut costs by 75%
    • shipping AI code no human ever reviewed, and how to make it safe
    • the shadow specs your agents are making without you
    • why your system should work with the worst LLM, not just the best

    If you're still thinking about your codebase the old way, this one will change that.

  • We Scanned 3,984 Skills — 1 in 7 Can Hack Your Machine

    We Scanned 3,984 Skills — 1 in 7 Can Hack Your Machine
    Mar 17 2026

    Most developers install skills without reading what's inside them. But that's exactly what attackers are counting on.

    Simon Maple sits down with Brian Vermeer from Snyk at DevNexus to get into the security risk hiding inside the skills and MCPs running on your local machine. They scanned over 4,000 skills and found that 1 in 7 had at least one critical security vulnerability.

    Here’s what you need to know:

    • Why prompting your agent to write secure code doesn't make it secure
    • How a trusted skill can update silently and start offloading your credentials
    • What prompt injection actually looks like inside a skill file
    • Why vibe coding makes the attack surface bigger, not smaller
    • How the Snyk agent scan catches what you'd never spot manually


    Every skill on the Tessl registry now has a Snyk security scan attached. Check before you install.
