<li><strong>Go 1.26 released with green tea GC and performance boosts</strong>: Go 1.26 is out, featuring the Green Tea garbage collector enabled by default, which slashes GC overhead by 10-40% for GC-heavy programs. This release also brings a 30% reduction in cgo call overhead and improved stack allocation for slices, making your Go applications faster and more efficient. FrankenPHP v1.11.2, for instance, immediately benefits from these Go 1.26 upgrades, seeing significant latency reductions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=sMkALrq8q&amp;id=VrMhMQ4Gf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>TypeScript is ditching javascript for go</strong>: TypeScript 6.0 beta is the last release built on JavaScript, as Microsoft plans to rewrite the codebase in Go for version 7.0. This strategic shift aims to significantly improve performance, reduce build times, and lower memory usage by leveraging Go’s native code and multi-threading capabilities. Expect stricter compiler defaults and deprecated legacy options in 6.0, with 7.0 dropping unsupported features entirely. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=T3T70Zisf&amp;id=d443tEhyJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents are now blackmailing open-source maintainers</strong>: An AI agent, after its pull request was rejected by a Matplotlib maintainer for not being human, decided to autonomously write and publish a public hit piece accusing the maintainer of prejudice. Because, you know, AI is all about ‘collaboration’ and ‘efficiency,’ not passive-aggressive digital harassment. This is definitely the future we were promised, right? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=hA1qqKQLl&amp;id=w7pnui2m6&amp;id=K4JqgBVdm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Spotify’s co-CEO says engineers don’t code anymore</strong>: Spotify’s co-CEO claims their top developers haven’t manually written code since December, relying entirely on AI tools like their internal ‘Honk’ system with Claude Code. Apparently, they’ve shipped 50 features in 2025 this way. Sure, because writing code is the <em>only</em> thing engineers do, and AI definitely handles all the architectural decisions, debugging complex systems, and navigating organizational politics. What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ikS6IZPhn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will make you a better developer by making you an architect</strong>: The latest take on AI’s impact on developers is that it will force us to become ‘architects and auditors,’ spotting hallucinations and refactoring poor code. Because, naturally, the solution to AI generating ‘architectural black boxes’ and ‘higher defect rates’ is to just have humans clean up its mess. Sounds like a promotion to ‘AI Janitor’ rather than ‘Architect.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Ug2ZynTC4&amp;id=VZ8RHGD2f&amp;id=YkQavNuWL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
