Episode Description
What happens when your autonomous coding agents need to navigate your core infrastructure? Do you hand them the keys and hope for the best? (gulp!) This week on Dev Interrupted, 1Password CTO Nancy Wang teaches the golden path for agentic security: just-in-time secrets that grants AI "access without custody." She also shares her CTO playbook for measuring true agentic ROI beyond raw PR volume, explains why 1Password has officially replaced traditional coding interviews with agent builder tests, and confesses she’s shipping PRs again with her own fleet of agents between meetings. Like many CTOs we’ve had on the show, Nancy reminds us that code is cheap now, and review is what’s expensive now. We get into tactics for addressing that bottleneck.
