<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI is fundamentally changing software development careers</strong>: AI is rapidly reducing the cost of writing business logic and integration code, forcing developers to adapt or risk diminishing economic value. While some see this as a loss of craft, others view it as an evolution, creating new opportunities in system architecture and solving previously intractable problems. This shift is transforming programming from hand-coding into more of a code review and oversight role, as highlighted by articles from The Register and others. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=1kY4bQ43R&amp;id=EfUZYBNep&amp;id=RhDtuknZS&amp;id=aREPiFEe8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent integration requires robust governance</strong>: As AI agents become integral to CI workflows and autonomous development, they are emerging as a primary source of incidents, similar to control planes. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is identified as critical infrastructure needing governance akin to APIs, including identity, permissions, and auditing. This means treating AI agents as privileged actors with proper constraints, not just productivity tools, according to industry analysis. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=89Ue9XF5U&amp;id=DDF1LGNa7&amp;id=FGuAm9dTJ&amp;id=NnOA92bnL&amp;id=WndaKmd4O&amp;id=h2Td8u8vN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare open-sources Moltworker for AI agent deployment</strong>: Cloudflare introduced Moltworker, an open-source solution for running self-hosted AI agents (Moltbot) on its Developer Platform. It leverages Cloudflare Workers as an API router and executes the Moltbot runtime in isolated Sandbox containers, with persistent state stored in R2. This initiative aims to provide a secure and scalable way to deploy AI agents at the edge, integrating various Cloudflare services for model routing, automation, and authentication. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=SKYTauJXO&amp;id=TpsLSMM7l" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AI privacy and data handling concerns</strong>: Incognito mode offers no protection when using AI chatbots, as major AI companies use conversations to train their models, making any personal information pasted into them part of the training data. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=omgT5xY4B&amp;id=pVBEuoaIJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>StrongDM implements AI software factory</strong>: StrongDM has implemented a “Software Factory” where AI agents autonomously write, test, and validate code without human intervention, using scenario testing and a “Digital Twin Universe” for validation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0FxDZuTf9&amp;id=0QENbqZDa&amp;id=HjzMVzPQS&amp;id=KdyaFPF3t&amp;id=QeCjGcTtT&amp;id=SVJSQF1SS&amp;id=dTdNclsij&amp;id=fxzJy9wzG&amp;id=lGQ4yZr5a&amp;id=vQjfzdkpo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>SwiftUI GeometryReader state management issues</strong>: SwiftUI projects experienced UI spacing issues due to incorrect state management of <code>GeometryReader</code> output, where accumulating geometry-derived values or assuming stability across app lifecycle changes led to layout problems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=EO7bcVk9I&amp;id=iMxVnKvtG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>CodeQL improves Maven and query accuracy</strong>: CodeQL 2.24.1 enhances Maven private registry support, adds Kotlin 2.3.0, C23/C++26, and C# 14 language features, and improves query accuracy, including an experimental prompt injection detection query for LLM code. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t6yIEU56N" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Ironpad: local-first project management with Rust and AI</strong>: Ironpad is an open-source, local-first project and knowledge management system built with a Rust/Axum backend and Vue 3 frontend, storing data as Markdown files with Git integration and developed using AI-assisted methods. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/osvYU1Ljc" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Manticore Search 17.5.1 released</strong>: Manticore Search 17.5.1 is a maintenance release with bug fixes and minor improvements, including MCL 10.2.0 support for additional embedding models (Llama, Qwen, Mistral, Gemma) and shared Jieba morphology instances. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KxwG1LxJz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>LLVM/Clang adds AMD Zen 6 support</strong>: LLVM/Clang compiler has merged initial support for AMD’s next-generation Zen 6 processors through the new znver6 target, enabling optimized code compilation for the upcoming architecture. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/IPzjXRLF8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>The microservice that should have been a function</strong>: A 15-engineer company decomposed its monolith into 12 microservices, leading to a 560% infrastructure cost increase and a 60% productivity drop, proving that sometimes, a function is just a function, not a whole damn service. Apparently, the hidden costs of microservices only pay off for organizations with $10M+ revenue and 50+ engineers, but hey, who needs to read case studies when you can just cargo cult? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/L8YCqEU1k" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google’s Genie 3 AI hype deserves a closer look</strong>: Google’s Genie 3 and Lingbot World promise interactive AI-generated game environments, but testing reveals they require 8+ RTX 5090 GPUs, crash frequently, and can only run for minutes before failing. So, while it’s great that they can maintain spatial consistency, replacing traditional video games with current architecture is about as realistic as me getting a full night’s sleep. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/cIFgh6gRR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI video startup boasts it ‘ended’ jobs, gets backlash</strong>: <a href="http://Higgsfield.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Higgsfield.ai</a>, an AI video creation startup, proudly announced it eliminated over 20 creative jobs, then faced backlash for deceptive marketing, bait-and-switch tactics, and essentially being a wrapper around existing APIs with arbitrary delays. It’s almost like bragging about job destruction while offering a shoddy product isn’t a great business strategy.
