<li><strong>GitHub’s reliability issues continue</strong>: GitHub experienced multiple service disruptions in early February, affecting Actions, pull requests, notifications, and Copilot. Notification delays reached 50 minutes, and Copilot policy propagation problems persisted for nearly 18 hours. This follows a trend where GitHub’s uptime dropped below 90% in 2025, falling short of its enterprise SLA, as reported by The Register. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/d4Tedw2tw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Heroku is officially in maintenance mode</strong>: Heroku has transitioned to a ‘sustaining engineering model,’ meaning no new features or enterprise contracts for new customers. This signals a winding down of the platform, attributed to past security breaches, removal of free tiers, frequent outages, and technological stagnation. Modern alternatives like DigitalOcean App Platform, Railway, and Render are now being recommended for migration, as detailed by <a href="http://FastRuby.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">FastRuby.io</a> and other sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=13PGZg8yI&amp;id=smfFrov84&amp;id=pW1DiQ44D&amp;id=u738eKfMn&amp;id=qAmp5MSPU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI demand drives memory price hikes and market shifts</strong>: RAM and SSD prices are rising dramatically due to AI data center demand, with manufacturers prioritizing hyperscalers over consumer markets. This has led to Crucial reportedly exiting the consumer market and Valve delaying Steam Machine details due to RAM shortages. The high wafer consumption for HBM directly impacts overall memory supply, indicating a significant shift in hardware availability and cost, as discussed by Linus Tech Tips. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yVlF3m7bk&amp;id=zTCrlSA9U&amp;id=ouFYb1BFb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-generated markdown to chat: because we needed more ways to spam</strong>: Someone built a PHP library to convert AI-generated Markdown into platform-specific formats for WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and Slack. Because what the world really needs is more AI-generated content flooding our chat apps, right? I’m sure this will be used exclusively for ‘good’ and not for, say, automating spam campaigns. As if our inboxes weren’t already a dumpster fire. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ixfE1xI1P" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Postman: the everything app you never asked for</strong>: Postman’s latest updates are turning it into an ‘everything app’ with AI agent builders, API portfolio management, and managed cloud servers. Because why have a focused tool when you can have a bloated, all-in-one platform that introduces performance issues, UI complexity, and vendor lock-in? Soon it’ll probably make coffee too. Just use curl and jq, folks, and keep control of your core processes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/O8Zfhee9v" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI startup idea validator: because your dreams need to die faster</strong>: A developer, after 15 years of failed side projects, built an AI tool called ‘The Slaughterhouse’ that validates startup ideas by brutally killing them in 2 minutes. It uses 15 ‘failure-pattern gates’ to deliver harsh verdicts. Because who needs encouraging feedback or iterative improvement when you can just have an AI tell you your idea sucks immediately? Efficiency, I guess, even if it’s soul-crushing. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/D0HjpDW62" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
