Issue #12: Agents That Spend Money

Issue #14: Mythos 10K Vulns, CodeGraph, Constraint Decay, AI Slop Issues

Issue #14 of The Agentic Engineer Podcast. Anthropic's Mythos Preview found 10,000+ critical vulnerabilities in 30 days across 50 Glasswing partners. A new paper proves coding agents collapse in convention-heavy frameworks like Django. CodeGraph cuts agent costs 35% with pre-indexed knowledge graphs. And AI-generated slop issues are poisoning open source repos.
