  • TypeScript, Security, and Type Juggling with Ariel Shulman & Liran Tal - JSJ 679

    TypeScript, Security, and Type Juggling with Ariel Shulman & Liran Tal - JSJ 679
    May 29 2025
    In this episode, we dove headfirst into the swirling waters of TypeScript, its real-world use cases, and where it starts to fall short—especially when it comes to security. Joining us from sunny Tel Aviv (and a slightly cooler Portland), we had the brilliant Ariel Shulman and security advocate Liran Tal bring the heat on everything from type safety to runtime vulnerabilities.


    We started off with a friendly debate: Has TypeScript really taken over the world? Our verdict? Pretty much. Whether it’s starter projects, enterprise codebases, or AI-generated snippets, TypeScript has become the de facto standard. But as we quickly found out, that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.


    Key Takeaways:
    -TypeScript ≠ Security
    We tend to trust TypeScript a bit too much. It’s a build-time tool, not a runtime enforcer. As Liran pointed out, “TypeScript is not a security tool,” and treating it like one leads to dangerous assumptions.
    -Type Juggling is Real (and Sneaky)
    We explored how something as innocent as using as string on request data can open the door to vulnerabilities like HTTP parameter pollution and prototype pollution. Just because your IDE is happy doesn’t mean your runtime is.
    -Enter Zod – Runtime Type Checking to the Rescue?
    Zod got some love for bridging the dev-time/runtime gap by validating data on the fly and inferring TypeScript types. But even Zod isn’t foolproof. For example, unless you're using .strict(), extra fields can sneak past your validations, leading to mass assignment bugs.
    -Common Developer Fallacies
    We discussed the misplaced confidence developers have in things like code coverage and TypeScript alone. One of the big takeaways: defense in depth matters. Just like testing, layering your security practices (like using Zod, type guards, and proper sanitization) is key.
    -TypeScript Best Practices Are Evolving
    From discriminated unions to avoiding any, from using Maps over plain objects to prevent prototype pollution—TypeScript developers are adapting. And tools like modern Node.js now support type stripping, which makes working with .ts files at runtime a bit easier.

  • Building Agentic AI Workflows with Matthew Henage - JSJ 678

    Building Agentic AI Workflows with Matthew Henage - JSJ 678
    May 22 2025
    In this episode, we sat down with full-stack developer and AI innovator Matthew Henage, creator of WAOS.ai (Web App Operating System) and the incredible storytelling platform SpeakMagic.ai. This conversation took us deep into the world of agentic AI, low-code app building, and the future of intelligent workflows.

    We kicked things off with Matthew sharing how he’s been riding the AI wave since GPT-3.5 blew his mind. His platform WoWs is all about making it easy for developers to build powerful web apps with embedded AI workflows — think of it like Zapier meets ChatGPT, but with agents working together instead of API chains.

    One of the most eye-opening parts of our chat was learning about agent swarms — essentially teams of specialized AI agents that collaborate to perform complex tasks. Instead of relying on one giant AI brain to do everything, you create smaller, purpose-built AIs that handle specific steps in a workflow. It’s scalable, smarter, and kind of like assembling your dream dev team… but all made of code.

    Matthew’s Speak Magic project is a jaw-dropper. It uses a swarm of over 40 agents to turn a single story idea into a fully animated, two-minute video — complete with scenes, scripts, character animations, music, and more. It’s AI storytelling on steroids.

    We also talked a lot about:
    • Best practices for building reliable AI workflows
    • The importance of keeping context windows small (under 4,000 tokens works best!)
    • How prompt engineering is becoming the new programming
    • Using AI for vibe coding (yes, that’s a thing) and rapid prototyping
    • The tradeoffs between using traditional programming vs. letting AI handle logic
    • Ethical considerations and how to handle memory and privacy in long-running user interactions
    Check out Matthew’s work at WAOS.ai and speakmagic.ai — and as always, stay curious and keep building!

  • Reinventing Web Development with Brisa: A Conversation with Aral Roca - JSJ 677

    Reinventing Web Development with Brisa: A Conversation with Aral Roca - JSJ 677
    May 15 2025
    In this week’s episode, it’s just me — Charles Max Wood — and I’m joined by the incredibly sharp and open-source-loving Aral Roca, direct from Barcelona! Aral’s the creator of Brisa, a new full-stack web framework that flips the script on how we build modern web apps. If you thought the "another day, another framework" meme was played out... well, Brisa might just change your mind.

    Key Takeaways:

    -Brisa’s Big Idea: It's designed to let you build web apps with minimal or zero JavaScript on the client side. Think HTML streaming, server actions, and components that render server-side first, but can gradually hydrate on the client.

    -Server-first FTW: Aral walks us through how Brisa handles server actions — even capturing click and scroll events on the server — using ideas inspired by HTMX, LiveView, and server components from frameworks like Next.js.

    -Tiny and Mighty: The whole framework is incredibly lightweight. Web components come in at just ~3 KB, and the built-in i18n system is under 1 KB!

    -From Idea to Reality: Aral started Brisa to scratch his own itch — building side projects and blogs without bloated front-end code. But now, others are using it too (yes, even in production!), including one travel agency that's gone all-in.

    -Multi-platform Future: Brisa has adapters in the works for Vercel, Node, and Deno — plus integration with Tauri for building native Android, iOS, and desktop apps from the same codebase.

    -What's Coming: Roadmap goals include improved hot reloads, more adapters, transitions, lazy-loaded components, and a better playground for developers to tinker with.

    Oh, and yes — Aral does parkour. For real.

    This episode is packed with deep technical insight and exciting potential for a new way to build web apps — especially for devs who love fast performance, server-rendering, and clean architecture.
