Panic has created games such as Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game. They recently ventured into gaming hardware with the Playdate. The console is unique for its inputs, which include a hand crank, and because Panic provides a free SDK, so anyone can develop games for it.
James Moore is a DevOps Engineer and Dave Hayden is an Engineer at Panic. They join the show to talk about developing the Playdate handheld.
Joe Nash is a developer, educator, and award-winning community builder, who has worked at companies including GitHub, Twilio, Unity, and PayPal. Joe got his start in software development by creating mods and running servers for Garry’s Mod, and game development remains his favorite way to experience and explore new technologies and concepts.

As a listener of Software Engineering Daily you understand the impact of generative AI. On the podcast, we’ve covered many exciting aspects of GenAI technologies, as well as the new vulnerabilities and risks they bring.
HackerOne’s AI red teaming addresses the novel challenges of AI safety and security for businesses launching new AI deployments.
Their approach involves stress-testing AI models and deployments to make sure they can’t be tricked into providing information beyond their intended use, and that security flaws can’t be exploited to access confidential data or systems.
Within the HackerOne community, over 750 active hackers specialize in prompt hacking and other AI security and safety testing.
In a single recent engagement, a team of 18 HackerOne hackers quickly identified 26 valid findings within the initial 24 hours and accumulated over 100 valid findings in the two-week engagement.
HackerOne offers strategic flexibility, rapid deployment, and a hybrid talent strategy. Learn more at Hackerone.com/ai.
