Summary
TokyoDev Talks Vol. 14 is an evening of two technical talks followed by networking at Tokyo Innovation Base (TiB) in Marunouchi. Peter Zhu, Staff Software Engineer at Shopify and Ruby core committer, argues that funding and managing open source should be treated as critical business infrastructure rather than charity, and offers a framework for making that case to technical and business leadership.
Jonathan Bethune, founder of AI governance startup Ninchi, explains Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and how it shapes application architecture, comparing a greenfield AI startup deployment with an implementation inside a large enterprise engineering organization. Doors open at 18:30 with drinks and a light meal provided by TokyoDev; attendance is limited to software developers and adjacent roles, and TiB registration is required.
