<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding tools are causing developer distress</strong>: AI coding tools are causing significant psychological distress among developers, termed ‘Deep Blue’ after the chess computer. While AI generates code faster, overall productivity isn’t necessarily improving due to new overheads like debugging AI-introduced bugs and managing technical debt, as highlighted by a collaboration with SonarSource. This shift means understanding code remains crucial, even if you’re not writing every line. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2K2g5aSSO&amp;id=D9oPYSzsO&amp;id=DwIZWcSFk&amp;id=LGa8UvWgC&amp;id=MVJtIUgmi&amp;id=NRy4QMgxM&amp;id=NY3oBIud2&amp;id=zBlrfeSPo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India becomes OpenAI’s second largest market</strong>: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that India now boasts 100 million weekly active ChatGPT users, making it OpenAI’s second-largest market globally. This growth is attributed to strategic adaptations for India’s price-sensitive market, including a sub-$5 tier and free year-long subscriptions, positioning India as a key player in global AI adoption. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/E7X2UrHD0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vulkan 1.3 now fully supported on Apple devices</strong>: KosmicKrisp, a Vulkan-on-Metal driver developed by LunarG, has achieved feature parity with MoltenVK and been upstreamed to Mesa 26.0. This development enables Vulkan 1.3 compliance on Apple devices by translating Vulkan API calls to Apple’s Metal graphics framework, providing a robust alternative for running Vulkan applications on macOS. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2qlomA9u7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI is drowning open source in low-quality bug reports</strong>: Daniel Stenberg, the cURL creator, reports that AI-generated security reports have flooded their bug bounty program, dropping accuracy from 1 in 6 to 1 in 20-30, forcing its shutdown. He also notes that while AI finds legitimate bugs, AI-generated code contributions remain unreliable. So, AI is great at finding problems, just not so much at fixing them or contributing quality code, which is totally not a problem for open source. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=7e4x0vONT&amp;id=UMatWajxo&amp;id=rh5pHHgby" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Notepad now a remote code execution vector</strong>: Apparently, a new RCE vulnerability, CVE-2026-20841, affects modern Windows Notepad versions, allowing malicious <code>.md</code> files to execute local binaries. Because what we really needed was for Notepad, the pinnacle of simplicity, to become a potential attack vector. Microsoft patched it, but it’s a shining example of how ‘feature bloat’ can turn a basic utility into a security headache. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AAuuxbltu&amp;id=fSewiiKKS&amp;id=jk8Zg0MX3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Reachi mini robot: more assembly required than AI magic</strong>: Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics released the Reachi Mini, an open-source educational robot kit, marketed with advanced AI capabilities. However, it’s a hands-on learning platform with ‘rough edges’ like IPv6 bugs and incomplete documentation, best suited for those comfortable with Linux and debugging. So, it’s not the AI-powered marvel you might expect from the marketing, but rather a $300-500 DIY project for the truly dedicated. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/f1KNRZS82" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
