Secure coding in the age of AI
In this age, we see an explosion in the use of AI-powered applications. AI has also enabled non-technical people without prior coding experience to write code. This is a major concern, especially from a security perspective, because there is no guarantee that secure coding practices are followed or that the code is reviewed for design flaws, which usually require expert human oversight beyond AI.
This problem becomes even more serious when you look at recent npm supply chain attacks, particularly typosquatting attacks, where malicious packages are deliberately named to look like popular libraries. AI-generated code that blindly suggests or auto-inserts dependencies without proper review can easily pull in these malicious packages, indirectly contributing to such attacks. When developers trust AI output without verifying package names, maintainers, or reputations, they increase the risk of introducing compromised dependencies into their applications.
In this talk, I will discuss common application vulnerabilities, how to prevent them, and cover foundational secure coding practices to follow during web development. I will also address how to rigorously review AI-generated code and its dependencies, especially third-party packages, before deploying anything to production.

Debug Like a Detective
Finding and fixing a bug is almost like solving a mystery.
It involves looking for clues eg. error logs and error stacks and narrowing down suspect lists by the process of elimination not just with console logs but by leveraging git commands and chrome dev tool features.
In this talk I will walk you through some cool dev tools features that can be used like conditional breakpoints, console utilities API, watching live javascript values with live expressions.
Finally, sealing the fate of the bug with unit tests, e2e tests, and monitoring with tools like Datadog.
