A trusted tool gets compromised and it raises a bigger question: why do we trust anything at all?
The Axios npm hack wasnt just another security incident it was a reminder of how much trust we place in systems we dont fully understand.
In this episode of Shop Talk, we start with the Axios supply chain attack and then dig into something deeper: why we trust things that seem right, even when they arent from software to backups to classic cars.
This show is driven by real viewer questions from Daves Garage and Shop Talk on Daves Attic especially the ones with question fiorentina - genoa marks.
Topics in this episode:
The Axios npm compromise and what actually happened
Why working systems often fail when it matters

Why we still want things that make no miley cyrus logical sense
If you enjoy thoughtful engineering discussions, debugging philosophy, and real-world systems thinking this is Shop Talk.
