<li><strong>Microsoft patch tuesday addresses zero-days and AI vulnerabilities</strong>: Microsoft’s February 2026 Patch Tuesday is a big one, tackling 59 vulnerabilities, including six actively exploited zero-days. What’s particularly interesting for us is the patching of critical remote code execution flaws in GitHub Copilot and multiple IDEs (VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains), stemming from AI prompt injection vulnerabilities. These AI-related flaws pose significant risks to developers due to access to sensitive credentials and infrastructure keys, as reported by Krebs on Security. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/zk4Rm0PBv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Open-source GLM-5 language model claims parity with proprietary giants</strong>: <a href="http://Z.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Z.ai</a> just dropped GLM-5, a new open-source large language model under an MIT License, claiming it matches proprietary models like Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.3 Codex for long-horizon coding tasks. With 744B parameters and trained on 28.5T tokens, it integrates DeepSeek Sparse Attention and a novel asynchronous RL infrastructure. Modal is even offering free API access until April, making it easy to kick the tires on this potential game-changer for open-source AI applications. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/bOspGaOnW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Open source sustainability crisis and maintainer burnout</strong>: The open-source software ecosystem is facing a sustainability crisis, with companies profiting from the unpaid labor of maintainers who are burning out. High-profile incidents like XZ Utils highlight the critical dependencies maintained by overworked individuals. Lotte Pitcher at NDC London 2026 emphasized that consumers need to identify high-risk dependencies, sponsor projects, and contribute time to OSS, reframing support as risk reduction, not charity. A new Claude Code skill even automates dependency health analysis, identifying funding gaps and bus factor risks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aIx715a23" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>ESLint 10.0.0 drops .eslintrc support</strong>: ESLint 10.0.0 is going all-in on flat config, ditching the old .eslintrc files, which should improve config resolution for monorepos and streamline the setup for React projects. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/eQ0JUyyzE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are transforming software development and project management</strong>: AI is increasingly integrated into software development and project management, with agentic AI expected to focus on guided proofs of concept in lower-risk scenarios, while AI tools are commoditizing technical implementation, making expertise in specific frameworks potentially obsolete. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=09VL6vIUd&amp;id=1x1bFm8o2&amp;id=3MPvGeonG&amp;id=4WHTKsrbZ&amp;id=BHR03oALU&amp;id=FBoFtrAqF&amp;id=GNeQpr05f&amp;id=Ke3nu27Xr&amp;id=PrsvlFhrJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Modular monoliths offer microservices benefits without the complexity</strong>: Modular monoliths are gaining traction by providing strict domain isolation within a single deployable unit, using architectural boundaries enforced at build time to balance complexity and operational ease. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0esOYLd2k&amp;id=3neA1QsEe&amp;id=AaHqpuNEs&amp;id=fqVYcFtBr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PyTorch foundation expands, Rust roadmap focuses on funding</strong>: The PyTorch Foundation has evolved into a multi-project ecosystem with new leadership, while the Rust program management team proposed 60 project goals for 2026, introducing a new roadmap structure to attract industry funding. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2JQZDZ3HD&amp;id=J1oQhmrd7&amp;id=LEUKhS9TX&amp;id=OB0PmskmR&amp;id=RDdwB12c8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>FastAPI cloud simplifies deployment, AWS enhances lake formation</strong>: FastAPI Cloud, backed by Sequoia, offers single-command deployment for FastAPI apps, while AWS Lake Formation now supports enhanced cross-account sharing for hundreds of thousands of tables with fine-grained access controls. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=5Mzv43k5F&amp;id=5atbRAfWV&amp;id=6Rrig1lfL&amp;id=7B5EDflI8&amp;id=N2p8QaBAl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-powered testing tools emerge from Datadog and GitHub Copilot</strong>: Datadog launched Code Coverage with AI-generated tests, and GitHub Copilot Testing for .NET is now generally available, offering AI-powered unit test generation with natural language prompting. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=gZJqHPom7&amp;id=j254S16VC&amp;id=sJ5P2kSW8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI makes you work longer, not smarter</strong>: A Harvard Business Review study found that generative AI leads to tech workers taking on more tasks, working longer hours, and reducing breaks, often voluntarily. Apparently, AI initially boosts productivity but then causes workload creep, increased cognitive fatigue, and burnout. So, AI makes you more productive by making you work yourself to death. Sounds like a great deal for everyone, especially your employer. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/mEvZkBSFL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are the new gold rush, just ignore the security risks</strong>: AI agents are rapidly deploying, with 40% of enterprise apps expected to feature them by 2026, promising 30-50% efficiency gains. But don’t worry about the security vulnerabilities, employment displacement, algorithmic opacity, and accountability concerns. Just hand over the keys to the machines, what could possibly go wrong? After all, competitive pressures are more important than adequate safety frameworks, according to Stuart Russell and Yoshua Bengio. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0rQwEgnbB&amp;id=QRBfTNO1G&amp;id=ZVqULJLz3&amp;id=gUwIhEnZO&amp;id=l8YCDT7qf&amp;id=mmQEWnSC4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will eliminate 50% of white-collar jobs, so buy my tools now</strong>: Industry leaders are predicting 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs will be eliminated within 1-5 years across law, finance, medicine, and software engineering, thanks to AI models like GPT-5.3 Codex and Claude Opus 4.6. The author of one article urges immediate adoption of paid AI tools and daily experimentation, framing it as a closing window for competitive advantage. Because nothing says ‘ethical AI development’ like fear-mongering to sell subscriptions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=jQIyW7C3o&amp;id=lGyFb7XTB&amp;id=waJpUtc5V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
