Kabir's Tech Dives
I'm always fascinated by new technology, especially AI. One of my biggest regrets is not taking AI electives during my undergraduate years. Now, with consumer-grade AI everywhere, I’m constantly discovering compelling use cases far beyond typical ChatGPT sessions.
As a tech founder for over 22 years, focused on niche markets, and the author of several books on web programming, Linux security, and performance, I’ve experienced the good, bad, and ugly of technology from Silicon Valley to Asia.
In this podcast, I share what excites me about the future of tech, from everyday automation to product and service development, helping to make life more efficient and productive.
Please give it a listen!

GUAC for Startup's Software Supply Chain
This episode is about GUAC, which stands for Graph for Understanding Artifact Composition, is an open-source tool that helps software developers understand their software supply chain. By creating a database of software packages and their dependencies, GUAC can identify potential vulnerabilities and trace the path of those vulnerabilities through the supply chain. This allows developers to quickly understand which of their packages are affected and take action to mitigate those risks. The GUAC ecosystem includes a command-line interface, a visualizer (under development), and a GraphQL API for querying data. The source provides a demo that showcases GUAC's features, including identifying vulnerabilities and marking packages as malicious.
