<li><strong>Cilium 1.19 arrives with sidecar-free mutual auth</strong>: Marking its ten-year anniversary, Cilium 1.19 has officially launched with a heavy focus on security hardening and observability. The release introduces a beta integration with Ztunnel for sidecar-free mutual authentication and new strict modes for IPsec and WireGuard that automatically drop unencrypted inter-node traffic. According to the project maintainers, Cilium now powers over 60% of surveyed production Kubernetes CNI deployments. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VJq8q5iXQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic acqui-hires Vercept to boost Claude computer use</strong>: Anthropic has acquired Seattle-based startup Vercept, the creators of the ‘Vy’ computer-use agent capable of operating remote MacBooks. While the Vy product will be shut down on March 25, the founding team is joining Anthropic to directly advance Claude’s ability to interact with graphical desktop environments. The deal follows a public spat between Vercept’s early investors regarding the startup’s relatively quick exit. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VoPayj2dv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<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. While Meta remains a platinum founding member alongside Amazon and Microsoft, the foundation will now manage trademarks and infrastructure while existing maintainers retain control over technical direction. This shift aims to ensure long-term neutrality and global accessibility for the ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Vf1iZDHHt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Google Research claims a free lunch for LLM accuracy</strong>: A viral report claims Google Research boosted LLM accuracy by 76 percentage points with ‘zero extra tokens’ and ‘zero latency.’ This miracle comes from a single unverified retweet without a peer-reviewed paper or methodology in sight. In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics and basic computational complexity. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/73tgOim8I" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The SaaSpocalypse is cancelled because of agents</strong>: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is desperately trying to pivot the narrative, claiming AI agents are ‘revitalizing’ SaaS rather than commoditizing it. To prove how much he believes in this future, he announced a $50 billion stock buyback while shares promptly dropped 5% after hours. Apparently, investors aren’t as sold on ‘Agent Work Units’ as a replacement for actual revenue growth. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R4O8qdc3C" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vibe coding is the new technical debt</strong>: The industry is currently fawning over ‘vibe coding,’ where you just describe a UI and let an agent hallucinate the implementation. Cloudflare bragged about rebuilding a Next.js API in a week for $1,100 in tokens, conveniently ignoring the ‘Potemkin codebase’ problem where nobody actually understands the globally incoherent design. Good luck to the systems engineers who have to maintain these un-debuggable black boxes in two years. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=he1DQDQSY&amp;id=i0taQtCBB&amp;id=znnwSQU8O&amp;id=TXNq3Eeop" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
