Daily Reading List – June 2, 2026 (#796)

Just wrapped up the day in Stockholm with more fun customer chats, and some rehearsals for the big event here tomorrow. And after a five hour dinner with people, my social battery is sub-zero.

[blog] State of SDLC Security 2026. The Wiz team shared a few data points in this blog post and links to a downloadable report.

[article] Coders are refusing to work without AI — and that could come back to bite them. It could. But I’d also refuse (a few years ago) to code without an IDE, or ask for anything but a cloud server. We get used to things that help us!
