The Stack Overflow Podcast - Passwords are dead! Long live the new authentication flows.

Every password can be compromised. Stych helps companies build authentication flows that don't need user passwords. 

Julianna grew up in Idaho, where she didn't even know what computer science was. After stints as a software engineer and product manager, she found a role where could figure out what the organization should be building: CTO and founder. 

Their first product was email magic links, which is more complicated than you think. Most importantly, how do you always avoid the spam folder? Copy changes in an email can make all the difference. 

Developer tooling is undergoing a renaissance now that smaller companies are getting into the game with API offerings. The big thing that differentiates good tools from bad is easy to understand  documentation. 

The right metaphor for API services isn't SaaS, it's eCommerce. Plug it in into your app without giving up design and user experience.

Opening Arguments - OA519: No, Britney Spears’ Dad Is NOT Stepping Down as Conservator

It's another edition of Ace Associate Morgan Stringer's Pop Law! The media widely reported that Jamie Spears intends to step down as conservator. BUT.. that's a bad law thingy. He actually isn't. Tune in and hear the real law talkin'! Then, we talk about some great news in the battle for trans rights. Hobby Lobby was dealt a loss by the court. On the bad news front though, the Whole Woman's Health v. Paxton decision was horrible. But Mr. Sunshine himself, Andrew Torrez, has a positive spin for us.

Consider This from NPR - Why Are Millions Of U.S. Workers Still On The Sidelines?

School districts can't find bus drivers. The TSA is short on security screeners. Ports can't find enough workers to load and unload shipping containers. Across many different sectors, the unavailability of workers is holding the economy back, and sending prices even higher. NPR's Scott Horsley reports.

Fuel truckers are another critical job that employers can't fill fast enough, explains NPR's Camila Domonoske.

Also in this episode: reporting from NPR's Andrea Hsu on why millions of older workers have decided to retire early during the pandemic.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Visa Buys a Punk as Bitcoin Returns to $50K

Is it a marketing stunt or the beginning of a wave of institutional interest in NFTs?

This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.

Late Sunday evening, bitcoin pushed above $50,000 for the first time in three months. Overall BTC is up 46% in the last 30 days. NLW explores arguments that this move has been spot driven and connected to institutions and whales. He also looks at the potential implications of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole meeting later this week. 

In the second part of the show, he looks at the news that has Crypto Twitter on fire: Visa bought a CryptoPunk. The purchase, executed for around $150,000, is being maligned by some as a marketing stunt, while others see it as heralding a new era of institutional purchases of non-fungible tokens. NLW looks at both sides and ultimately argues that neither is exactly correct. Instead, it seems to be about inserting Visa’s business into a new digital market.
