<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Open source infrastructure faces a sustainability breaking point</strong>: Major package repositories like Maven Central are struggling under the weight of massive commercial consumption, with Sonatype reporting that 80% of traffic comes from just three hyperscalers using them as free CDNs. In response, GNOME has begun redirecting HTTPS traffic to GitHub mirrors to slash data transfer costs, while the OpenSSF is advocating for mandatory contributions from heavy corporate users. These shifts signal a move toward tiered payment models where high-volume commercial entities may finally have to pay for the infrastructure they rely on. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=HFJOel4V2&amp;id=XIpmjFf08&amp;id=ndB4t3RZj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India disrupts developer ecosystem with Supabase blocking order</strong>: The Indian government has issued an opaque blocking order against Supabase, a popular open-source Firebase alternative, cutting off access for developers across major ISPs like Jio and Airtel. TechCrunch reports that India is the platform’s fourth-largest market, and the block has left local engineers unable to access both development environments and production databases. This incident highlights the growing risks of centralized internet governance and its impact on the global open-source software supply chain. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/x9ggXCarx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google proposes quantum resistant HTTPS without the performance hit</strong>: To combat the threat of future quantum computers, Google and Cloudflare are testing Merkle Tree Certificates to replace traditional X.509 chains. As reported by Ars Technica, this approach compresses 2.5kB of quantum-resistant cryptographic data into a 64-byte proof, preventing the massive slowdowns usually associated with larger post-quantum keys. Support is already rolling out in Chrome, marking a significant milestone in securing long-term web privacy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/8DoiZIvLO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Elixir productivity paradox is back</strong>: A new business case claims Elixir teams of three can replace fifteen JavaScript engineers because AI writes ‘more correct’ Elixir code. While the BEAM is impressive, claiming a 5x headcount reduction based on LLM completion rates ignores the reality of complex system architecture and technical debt. It’s the same ‘silver bullet’ marketing we’ve seen for every niche language that promises to fire half your staff. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/srbpx6CDV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI decision matrices are the new horoscopes</strong>: Consultants are now pushing ‘Morpheus Workflows’ to help you choose between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini based on their ‘archetypes.’ Assigning personality traits like ‘The Diplomat’ to statistical token predictors is a peak hype-cycle move to justify more AI subscriptions. In reality, most people just use whichever one hasn’t hit its rate limit yet. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/H3kAhRD0e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
