Discover how AI is transforming software development with tools like Cursor IDE and Mend.io. In this video, Alex explains how Cursor’s AI First Code Editor simplifies complex tasks, enabling both experienced and new developers to build sophisticated applications faster than ever. Mend.io takes this transformation a step further by seamlessly integrating SAST and SCA directly into the Cursor IDE. This powerful combination ensures that AI-generated code is secure from the moment it’s written, with Mend.io’s Igenic performing rapid scans without slowing down the development process.

Mend.io, formerly known as Whitesource, has over a decade of experience helping global organizations build world-class AppSec programs that reduce risk and accelerate development -– using tools built into the technologies that software and security teams already love. Our automated technology protects organizations from supply chain and malicious package attacks, vulnerabilities in open source and custom code, and open-source license risks.

Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.1, a major upgrade over Opus 4 for agentic tasks, real-world coding, and reasoning. In this episode, we put it through the same secure Node.js app challenge we’ve used for previous models, so you can see exactly how it stacks up!
