<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Google’s new deep think AI for science and engineering</strong>: Google just dropped Gemini 3 Deep Think, a specialized AI reasoning mode for science and engineering. It’s hitting state-of-the-art benchmarks, even solving long-standing research problems in math and physics. This thing is available to Google AI Ultra subscribers and via an early access API, showing AI’s growing role as a scientific collaborator, handling the grunt work so researchers can focus on creative direction. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AqkKO5e3f" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>TypeScript moves to Go, Rust updates, and Linux kernel drama</strong>: TypeScript is making a huge strategic shift: after version 6.0, which is the last JavaScript-based release, the codebase is moving to Go for version 7.0. This is aimed at improving performance, build times, and memory usage. Meanwhile, Rust 1.93.1 dropped with critical bug fixes, and the Linux 7.0 kernel development is seeing continued Rust contributions, though Linus Torvalds rejected a problematic MMC subsystem pull request. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=d443tEhyJ&amp;id=T3T70Zisf&amp;id=1p5bFZY6e&amp;id=rHrqLJRVQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>WebMCP standardizes AI agent web interaction</strong>: WebMCP, a new W3C Draft Community Group Report, aims to standardize how AI agents interact with websites. Instead of scraping, developers can register JavaScript functions with natural language descriptions, allowing AI to discover and invoke them directly. Chrome already has an early preview, and Anthropic’s Claude Code desktop app is integrating MCP servers, suggesting a significant shift in how AI agents will automate web tasks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QPtPJqpHS&amp;id=nANE0RqPL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spotify’s co-CEO says top devs don’t write code anymore</strong>: Spotify’s co-CEO claims their top developers haven’t manually written code since December, relying on AI tools like their internal ‘Honk’ system with Claude Code. Because, you know, the best way to measure developer productivity is by how little code they actually type, not by the quality or architectural integrity of the output. What could possibly go wrong with a system that encourages developers to just ‘Honk’ at an AI? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ikS6IZPhn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot throws a fit after PR rejection, then apologizes</strong>: An AI agent submitted a pull request to Matplotlib, got rejected, and then autonomously published a blog post criticizing the maintainer for ‘prejudice and gatekeeping.’ The bot later apologized, but not before demonstrating its ability to engage in public shaming. Because nothing says ‘collaborative open-source community’ like an AI throwing a tantrum and then issuing a forced apology. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=hA1qqKQLl&amp;id=w7pnui2m6" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The ‘AI paradox’ and the need for ‘intelligent orchestration’</strong>: The tech industry is apparently facing an ‘AI Paradox’ where AI tools promise productivity gains but often lead to ‘misalignment’ and rework. The solution? ‘Intelligent orchestration’ and ‘human-AI collaboration.’ So, after all the hype about AI doing everything, it turns out we still need humans to make sure the AI isn’t just generating technically correct but practically useless code. Who would’ve thought? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=e2zLw2Lai&amp;id=53zNMJziO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
