In this episode, Whitney and I talked with Emily Long, CEO and co-founder of Edera about their hardened container runtime - the kind you can swap in without re-platforming or kicking off yet another zero-trust migration. The pitch is basically: stop chasing detect-and-respond alerts and just fix the foundation.
We also got into the messy reality of going from COO to CEO (the COO title is, it turns out, kind of made up) and what it’s like raising a deep-tech Series A as an all-woman founding team - the downside-vs.-upside question pattern VCs fall into, and the now-classic “I just Googled Kubernetes and I know more than you do” pitch moment.
The episode opens with a long detour on to-do lists, Claude Code, and whether AI tooling is just expanding the list of things you feel obligated to do. Hand-written lists make a comeback.
