<li><strong>Massive security breach hits popular Axios library</strong>: A major security attack has compromised Axios, a tool used by millions of websites to handle data. Hackers took over a lead developer’s account to slip malicious code into the software, which can steal information from Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. If your company uses this tool, your tech team needs to immediately check for a fake dependency called plain-crypto-js and change all passwords and digital keys. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=RlEVDfzaA&amp;id=6mR1VFvvx&amp;id=RbLhoKQKe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft Copilot gets a reality check as stock slides</strong>: Microsoft is launching new features like ‘Critique’ and ‘Council’ to let users compare different AI models side-by-side, but investors aren’t impressed. The company’s stock is facing its worst quarter since 2008 as the initial AI hype begins to cool off. While Microsoft pushes more ‘agentic’ tools for the workplace, the market is questioning if these expensive AI investments will actually pay off. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/TZFsy765M" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic and Pentagon clash over AI warfare</strong>: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly refused a U.S. government demand to remove safety restrictions that prevent its AI, Claude, from being used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. In response, the government has labeled Anthropic a ‘supply chain risk’ and banned federal agencies from using its products. Meanwhile, competitors OpenAI and xAI have moved quickly to sign deals with the military, highlighting a growing divide in AI ethics. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qSa8B75sI" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AI productivity paradox is just more meetings</strong>: Everyone claims AI makes coding 25% faster, but since coding is only 16% of a developer’s job, the actual impact on finishing a project is a pathetic 0.6%. Instead of shipping products, teams are just spending more time in ‘alignment meetings’ and acting as human spell-checkers for AI-generated garbage code. We’ve successfully automated the easy part and made the hard part—actually thinking—even more of a bottleneck. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=hzhT2J9Is&amp;id=RBiGlsyQf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GitHub Copilot thinks your code needs more ads</strong>: GitHub recently ‘accidentally’ started inserting promotional tips for third-party apps like Raycast directly into developers’ private work. They called it a ‘programming logic issue,’ which is corporate-speak for ‘we tried to see if we could get away with ads in your workflow and got caught.’ Over 11,000 projects were spammed before they pinky-promised to stop. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/CBiS6JMgV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vibe coding is the new way to say I have no idea what I am doing</strong>: The latest trend is ‘vibe-coding,’ where people with zero technical skills use AI to ‘vibe’ a game into existence without writing a single line of code. While it makes for a great LinkedIn post, the reality is a mountain of ‘almost-right’ code that senior engineers eventually have to fix when the ‘vibe’ inevitably breaks. It turns out that ‘obsessing over details’ isn’t an inefficiency; it’s actually how you build things that don’t fall apart. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=19kk3AqHi&amp;id=W1h9sUtgn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
