<li><strong>Blender Foundation announces 2026 roadmap</strong>: The Blender Foundation has outlined its 2026 roadmap, planning three major releases: Blender 5.1 in March, 5.2 LTS in July, and 5.3 in November. Key features include GPU support for the video sequencer, improved 3D brush texture workflows, animation layers, and Cycles texture cache. The roadmap is structured around eight focus areas, including storytelling, world-building, and rendering, with long-term support for previous versions extending through 2028. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/IoN5diC3f" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Wix introduces xEngineer model for AI-driven development</strong>: Wix introduced the “xEngineer” model, integrating AI into engineering roles to broaden ownership across the development lifecycle. This shift, initially seen in DevOps and SRE, aims to leverage AI for tasks like signal interpretation and failure triage, reducing cognitive load while maintaining human accountability. Wix emphasizes this is about evolving responsibilities, not headcount reduction, focusing engineers on judgment rather than mechanical analysis. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1ESLU5xBs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Critical RCE vulnerability found in OpenClaw AI assistant</strong>: A critical 1-click Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was discovered in OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot), an AI assistant used by over 100,000 developers. The exploit chained a logic flaw in settings handling with a WebSocket origin validation bypass to steal authentication tokens and execute arbitrary commands. The vulnerability has been patched, requiring users to upgrade to versions after v2026.1.24-1 and rotate tokens. This highlights the security risks inherent in rapidly adopted AI tools. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2SdHHyeRJ&amp;id=YUSdAM3D6&amp;id=d76FYhLFT&amp;id=iEIaVGrhd&amp;id=yXHHUa4yo&amp;id=4nlzVZMEL&amp;id=ALGXJz29U&amp;id=fuL6WfKHt&amp;id=oAoGgXAAn&amp;id=zgJdriYuf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Native PHP makes mobile development “free” with AI</strong>: Native PHP just dropped some “major updates” making mobile development “completely free and open source.” Apparently, you can now build full Laravel mobile apps with an AI tool called Mimi, which uses Claude and natural language prompts. Because nothing says “robust, production-ready software” like an AI-generated app built with a framework that just went open source. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/bRf9BXT9O" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Norwegian developer predicts AI bubble burst</strong>: A Norwegian developer is predicting the AI bubble will burst in 2026, leading to higher prices and lower quality AI services because companies can’t monetize their massive investments. He’s warning developers to avoid proprietary AI models and maintain “core programming skills.” Because, you know, AI-generated code is just so bad it creates “unmaintainable systems.” Who knew? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/NEIMwAdHs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong><a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a> unveils AI design-to-code system</strong>: <a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a> developed an AI-powered system to convert Figma designs into production-ready code, using a “design-system MCP” and an “agentic workflow” with LangGraph. The goal is to ensure design system compliance and accessibility, but it only returns “structured context, not direct code.” So, it’s an AI that helps you design, but you still have to write the code yourself. Revolutionary. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2NkDxMJJB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
