**Mikeal Rogers:** Cool. My pick is kind of interesting - Bcrypt... Ian, who works at Brave, put out this great tweet this week that was asking what people's favorite security UI is, and what I said was I really like how browsers have started to move towards the default look of a page and the default UI elements around... |
Now, if you're not using SSL, it looks broken... It notes that this is just not a secure page, unless you're using TLS. In that vein, all these same browser vendors have been amping up the requirements to get a lot of that extra fanfare and what that looks like, including starting to dig and investigate some of the sec... |
\[56:16\] So not just the LetsEncrypt, like "Just get a certificate and encrypt stuff", but actually websites that say that they are from a particular company. Literally, you'll see the name of the company in the URL bar where the security information is. |
Some of the certificate authorities have not been actually investigating those companies, not actually vetting those companies like they're supposed to, including Symantec. And the more that they dug into Symantec, the more that they realized that something like 30,000 improper certificates were given out by Symantec..... |
This is pretty unprecedented, for a major browser vendor to go after a certificate authority like this. And I actually expect Mozilla to fall in line, as well. |
**Alex Sexton:** I think Mozilla has done it in the past as well with a few... There were the people who lost their private key or whatever -- it's happened before, but not on this scale, and Symantec is definitely a larger CA than others. If you don't follow Tavis Ormandy, I think he is the one who finds a ton of this... |
**Mikeal Rogers:** I want this dude's job, that sounds super fun. \[laughs\] |
**Alex Sexton:** It's part of a... It has a name, like "Google something." I can figure it out and put it in the show notes. There's like a team whose job it is to just make security on the web better, so that's literally his job, to go around and find security vulnerabilities in the web. |
**Juan Pablo Buritica:** Nice. Staying on the Latin American team, I was playing around this weekend with NextJS, and I found it to be sort of a very refreshing way of making websites kind of the old school way, but with modern tooling, with React. NextJS is by ZEIT, I think... Guillermo and his team. It's an isomorphi... |
I was impressed with the way I was able to just get everything running. It's extremely fast, although I do some CSS and some JavaScript code-splitting, which was impressive. If you wanna see it running right now, if you go to Zeit.co - that's what they built to power that site, and then in the spirit of open source the... |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yeah, I'm using Now, as well. Now is fantastic. And just a bit of background for people that aren't aware. Guillermo also wrote Socket.IO, which kind of made websockets real-time usable in the early Node.js days... So a really long-time impressive figure in creating beautiful, easy to use JavaScript ... |
**Alex Sexton:** Yeah, he also did JSConf Argentina. I went to JSConf Argentina and I was asking if anyone knew where Guillermo was, and they had no idea what I was saying. I remember that the double L in Argentina is pronounced differently... |
**Juan Pablo Buritica:** Yeah, it's pronounced differently. |
**Alex Sexton:** They had literally no idea what I was saying. As a callback to my thing - Google's Project Zero is the security team that I was talking about. But that might be all. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yeah, that's all the picks. Thanks for tuning in. If you have any suggestions for show topics for us to take on, you can head over to github.com/thechangelog/jsparty and log an issue or send a PR with great new topics for us to check out. We record live on Fridays, so you can listen to the live strea... |
**Juan Pablo Buritica:** Thanks for having me too, and shoutout to Rachel and her internet. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** \[laughs\] Can we get a sample from the board for Rachel? Can we get a cat hair sample...? |
**Rachel White:** Is it like "Um... Hold on, I have cat hair in my mouth" \[laughter\] \[\\01:00:56.04\] Gilmore Girls, I know what that is... |
**Alex Sexton:** That's amazing. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Brilliant! We live in the future! See y'all next week! |

**Adam Stacoviak:** We're here with Alex Sexton. This is part of the kickoff shows for JS Party. We're excited about this show because a lot of planning, a lot of fun's going into this. Alex, when Mikeal mentioned you as one of the potential hosts and then you agreed to participate, Jerod and I were pretty excited... D... |
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah, absolutely. I was saying to somebody that the name JS Party was partially inspired by a show that you used to do, Alex, which was yayQuery. It was a fun show that I enjoyed briefly, so I'm absolutely excited to have you on the show that we're doing. Thanks so much for hosting with us, and welcome... |
**Alex Sexton:** Glad to be on. |
**Jerod Santo:** The point of these pre-shows is to get to know our three co-hosts/panelists a little bit. In that light, why don't you give the audience a little bit of your back-story, where you're coming from and how you got to be a co-host on JS Party. |
**Alex Sexton:** Sure. So I was born in March 1986. My mom... Okay, probably not that far back. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I like the fact that you're born in March... We're kindred spirits, then. |
**Alex Sexton:** Yeah... I was lying. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** You were lying? It wasn't March? |
**Alex Sexton:** Okay, it's March. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Okay, it's March. |
**Jerod Santo:** I don't even know who to believe at this point. \[laughter\] |
**Alex Sexton:** You know, I don't want anybody stealing my identity. \[laughter\] Let's see... I know Mikeal from JSConf and NodeConf, so we go kind of far back. We were both staff with Chris back in the day, pretty early JSConf stuff -- maybe not the first one or two... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Chris Williams? |
**Alex Sexton:** Chris Williams, at JSConf. Then I spun off and did TXJS with Rebecca Murphey, and then Mikeal has done NodeConf, so we've all kind of staffed each other's conferences and things like that. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I was at the first TXJS. I didn't know you were a part of that. |
**Alex Sexton:** Yeah, that was Rebecca and I, as part of yayQuery, doing a conference. We had done North Carolina JS, the first time, and then I've run every TXJS since then myself, but haven't had one in two years. |
