<li><strong>React moves to an independent foundation</strong>: Meta has officially transferred React, React Native, and the JSX specification to the newly formed React Foundation, hosted under the Linux Foundation. Founding members include industry heavyweights like Amazon, Microsoft, and Vercel, aiming to decentralize the ecosystem’s governance. While Meta remains a key contributor, the move ensures long-term vendor neutrality for the core infrastructure of modern web development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Vf1iZDHHt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Nvidia hits record revenue as AI demand hits fever pitch</strong>: Nvidia reported a staggering $68 billion in quarterly revenue, a 73% year-over-year increase driven almost entirely by its data center business. CEO Jensen Huang noted that demand for AI compute tokens is so high that even six-year-old GPUs are being fully utilized at rising prices. The company also confirmed ongoing $30 billion partnership talks with OpenAI, further cementing its dominance in the AI infrastructure layer. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I58Ho2pR9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Google Research claims a magical 76 point accuracy boost</strong>: A viral tweet claims Google Research boosted LLM accuracy by 76 percentage points with ‘zero latency’ and ‘zero extra tokens.’ There is no research paper, no methodology, and no context provided for this statistically improbable miracle. It’s a classic case of a secondary source turning a niche optimization into a revolutionary breakthrough for engagement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/73tgOim8I" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Salesforce invents Agent Work Units to hide modest growth</strong>: CEO Marc Benioff is trying to pivot the ‘SaaSpocalypse’ narrative by introducing ‘Agent Work Units’ (AWUs) as a new metric for AI productivity. It’s a convenient distraction from the fact that their organic growth remains modest despite an $8 billion acquisition. Investors weren’t fooled, as shares dropped 5.6% despite a massive $50 billion buyback announcement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R4O8qdc3C" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The Vibe Coding trend is just technical debt with a new name</strong>: The emerging ‘vibe coding’ movement—where developers delegate everything to AI and just ‘verify the vibes’—is being hailed as the future of software. In reality, it’s a fast track to unmaintainable ‘Potemkin codebases’ that look functional but lack any underlying architectural integrity. Senior maintainers are already reporting a 91% increase in code review time due to the flood of this AI-generated ‘slop.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=7AmdNla3S&amp;id=TXNq3Eeop&amp;id=UbrI1oe2Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
