<li><strong>Salesforce phases out Heroku, shifts to AI</strong>: Salesforce is moving Heroku into a ‘sustaining engineering’ phase, halting new enterprise contracts and effectively signaling its decline. This pivot aligns with Salesforce’s broader strategy to focus on AI-led growth, leaving existing Heroku users to consider migration to alternatives like Render or Railway, as reported by <a href="http://FastRuby.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">FastRuby.io</a> and other sources. This marks a significant shift for a once-popular PaaS platform. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=13PGZg8yI&amp;id=pW1DiQ44D&amp;id=smfFrov84" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents develop C compiler for Linux kernel</strong>: Anthropic researchers used 16 Claude Opus 4.6 AI agents to autonomously build a Rust-based C compiler capable of compiling the Linux kernel. While the experiment consumed $20,000 in API costs and the generated code is not production-ready due to inefficiency and subpar Rust quality, it demonstrates significant autonomous AI development capabilities. However, the compiler failed at the linking stage and produced binaries 737 to 158,000 times slower than GCC, highlighting current limitations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=qhPl6UlEO&amp;id=9jEdtbewr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux kernel permanently adopts Rust</strong>: Linux 7.0 officially makes Rust a permanent part of the kernel project, concluding the ‘Rust experiment.’ This decision signals a long-term commitment to the language, encouraging developers and companies to invest in Rust training and development for kernel contributions. The move is supported by years of community effort and ongoing improvements to Rust builds within the kernel. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/k0qXAqGCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic Claude Co-work plugin ‘wipes out’ $400 billion in tech stocks</strong>: Anthropic’s new Claude Co-work plugins supposedly ‘wiped out $400 billion in tech stocks’ by ‘triggering market concerns’ about SaaS business models. Because a new AI feature is definitely the sole reason for market fluctuations, and not, you know, the entire global economy or investor sentiment. The title is a masterclass in correlation-causation fallacy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/QnkkrfiEd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents face ‘lethal trifecta’ vulnerability</strong>: Apparently, AI agents are susceptible to a ‘lethal trifecta’ when they read untrusted data, access secrets, and communicate externally. While the article advocates for architectural controls, the alarmist framing suggests we’re one bad prompt away from Skynet, rather than acknowledging that robust security practices are, and always have been, essential for any system handling sensitive data. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4NFnRjHAX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will make traditional SaaS UIs irrelevant</strong>: Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi claims AI will render traditional SaaS UIs irrelevant through natural language interfaces. Because apparently, everyone wants to chat with their enterprise software instead of using a well-designed, efficient interface. It’s almost like he’s trying to sell something that benefits from this ‘vision.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=5kN0YzGRy&amp;id=BoDPkFq8Y&amp;id=cX7pVnhKE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
