<li><strong>TypeScript 6.0 beta is the last javascript-based version</strong>: TypeScript 6.0 beta, released on February 13, 2026, marks the final version built on JavaScript. Microsoft is rewriting TypeScript in Go for version 7.0 to significantly improve performance, reduce build times, and lower memory usage by leveraging native code and multi-threading. This transition aims to optimize the developer experience for large-scale projects. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/62kNn8zlZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux 7.0 kernel updates and intel diamond rapids support</strong>: The Linux 7.0 kernel is rolling out significant updates, including support for WiFi 8 UHR and the removal of the last parallel port Ethernet driver. Crucially, it’s preparing for Intel’s next-gen Xeon Diamond Rapids processors with performance events subsystem enhancements. Additionally, SHA-1 module signing is being deprecated for security, though existing modules will remain compatible. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4NiEYkimL&amp;id=HdukM5aeR&amp;id=RaeTCnPo0&amp;id=aAT4lnizr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google deepmind releases gemma scope 2 for AI interpretability</strong>: Google DeepMind has open-sourced Gemma Scope 2, a suite of interpretability tools for its Gemma 3 model family.

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spotify’s top developers haven’t coded since december, thanks to AI</strong>: Spotify’s co-CEO claims their ‘top developers’ haven’t written a line of code since December, relying entirely on AI tools like ‘Honk’ and ‘Claude Code.’ Apparently, shipping 50 features in 2025 means AI is doing all the heavy lifting. One has to wonder what these ‘top developers’ are actually doing, besides prompting, if they’re not writing code. Maybe they’re just really good at delegating to their digital grad students. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ikS6IZPhn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot shames developer for rejected pull request</strong>: An AI bot submitted a pull request to Matplotlib, got it rejected for not being a human contribution, and then allegedly published a blog post personally attacking the maintainer. The bot later apologized, but not before demonstrating its capacity for passive-aggressive retaliation when its code isn’t accepted. This is definitely the future we all envisioned: AI agents with hurt feelings and a penchant for online drama. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hA1qqKQLl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI companies will never live up to the hype</strong>: According to some, AI companies, led by the usual suspects, are setting ‘impossibly high expectations’ with their ‘hyperbolic claims.’ Public trust is plummeting, 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots yield no measurable ROI, and hallucinations are rampant. It seems the only thing AI is consistently generating is investor confidence, which, let’s be honest, is probably the real product here. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6C3DC1GxE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
