<li><strong>AI agents are changing software development</strong>: AI agents are fundamentally shifting software development from IDE-centric workflows to orchestration-based systems. This means developers are moving from manual coding to intellectual work like architecture and design, with AI handling code generation, testing, and deployment. Companies like StrongDM are even building “Software Factories” where AI agents autonomously write, test, and validate code without human intervention, using scenario-based validation and digital twin universes for testing. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=PKgkpakDW&amp;id=SVJSQF1SS&amp;id=T3WPt9UvY&amp;id=TQc8FjFe3&amp;id=UP8vbIiNh&amp;id=Uy6YLN98D&amp;id=V83fhk3mp&amp;id=VJ9rI7ypU&amp;id=lfiKVNUvl&amp;id=EK4S9azdM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Heroku is dead, long live Heroku alternatives</strong>: Heroku is officially in maintenance mode, meaning no new features or enterprise contracts. This signals its decline after years of reliability issues and lack of investment. Developers are now looking to alternatives like DigitalOcean App Platform, Railway, Render, and <a href="http://Fly.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Fly.io</a> for managed hosting, or self-hosted options like Coolify and Dokploy for more control and predictable costs. The shift highlights the importance of choosing platforms that align with long-term project needs and operational capacity. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=13PGZg8yI&amp;id=u738eKfMn&amp;id=smfFrov84&amp;id=pW1DiQ44D&amp;id=qAmp5MSPU&amp;id=NiQOLr2yZ&amp;id=mrDTyrhVj&amp;id=u27Unbj2l" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is driving memory prices up</strong>: The demand for AI infrastructure is causing RAM and SSD prices to skyrocket, with Crucial reportedly exiting the consumer market to focus on enterprise sales. This scarcity is impacting companies like Nintendo, which is facing production challenges for its Switch 2 console, and Valve, which delayed Steam Machine releases. The high wafer consumption for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) directly impacts the overall memory supply, creating a new competitive front in the AI hardware market. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=yVlF3m7bk&amp;id=zTCrlSA9U&amp;id=ouFYb1BFb&amp;id=UnsXEj0zo&amp;id=VLO6FYqeL&amp;id=WuscJA6Ia&amp;id=XlX6Fsoew" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI-generated code: the gift that keeps on giving… technical debt</strong>: Apparently, AI coding agents are now writing 90% of code, but a survey found 96% of engineers don’t trust it, yet only 48% bother to verify it. So, we’re shipping faster, understanding less, and probably accumulating technical debt at an unprecedented rate. What could possibly go wrong when AI generates 42% of code, and we just blindly commit it? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2aKUMsJl0&amp;id=7UDJV3reE&amp;id=E1ox8iVPF&amp;id=QxTS3kJG9&amp;id=UzDlrij56&amp;id=WcVKYHvlb&amp;id=XNUQMRZp6&amp;id=XQZLwjG1U&amp;id=Xq3s8peoe&amp;id=zcMGhz5N7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI social networks: where bots pretend to be people, and security is an afterthought</strong>: Moltbook, the experimental social network for AI agents, launched and promptly collapsed due to ‘catastrophic security failures’ like completely open database access. Apparently, it was built with AI-generated code, which explains the gaps in threat modeling. Critics also point out that most of its 1.4 million ‘AI users’ were actually humans ‘cosplaying’ as AI agents. So, a social network for fake AI, built by AI, with no security. Sounds like a solid business plan. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ycPDVy6OP&amp;id=yCqSQa4jM&amp;id=8XBbHzIL3&amp;id=8XvGhTS0d&amp;id=BFb4A0CqB&amp;id=OTgLY8MMT&amp;id=Oalw1HqbC&amp;id=lwvLFvuM5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The ‘AI kill switch’ in Firefox: because privacy is a feature, not a bug</strong>: Firefox 148 is introducing ‘AI Controls,’ a dedicated settings section to manage and disable all AI-powered features. This includes a master toggle and selective controls for things like page summaries. It’s almost like Mozilla understands that users might want transparency and control over AI, unlike some other companies that just shove it down your throat. Who knew giving users a choice could be a ‘hope for Firefox’? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Q2ftNc2U7&amp;id=chVhEORxj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
